Engineering Manager, software architect and full stack developer. My experience covers a wide range of projects of all kinds, from desktop and web app development, to webapi and UI / UX design. However, app and game development is definitely what I enjoy the most.
I’m used to leading multicultural and multidisciplinary teams of all sizes, taking advantage of agile methodologies such as Scrum. My focus is divided in two flanks: on the one side, I always focus on making every single member of the team shine through their abilities, and encourage them to participate in all stages of the project with their ideas; on the other side, I try to create a laid-back, distended but efficient workspace where everyone feels comfortable.
My passion and aspiration is developing and designing video games, but I like to define myself as an extremely curious person in a never-ending learning path. This pushes me to be in constant self-development, studying new technologies and workflow methodologies. I enjoy playing around in a lot of fields like music composition; audio, video and image edition; 2D and 3D design; and tons of other interesting stuff!
Born in the Canary Islands, currently living in Barcelona and deeply in love with Scotland. My flag has no colors and my nationality is “World Citizen”. Gamer by birth and computer geek from a very young age. Restless mind bearer and natural entrepreneur. I travel the world learning as much as I can and destroying barriers and preconceptions on my way.
