What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote-friendly work close to production, solving operational problems and building reliable, observable distributed systems that scale.

I've built and operated mission-critical distributed systems, data-ingestion pipelines, and search infrastructure at Gobierno de España since 2013. I focus on making production services reliable, observable, and easier to operate.

I work extensively with Java, Kafka, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and Linux, diagnosing complex issues through monitoring, tracing, and structured debugging. I also build automation, algorithmic trading, and AI-driven real-time systems.
