Castelldefels, Barcelona

I build tings,
mostly software.

I take projects from concept to shipped product — architecture, decisions, and execution included. Currently building mobile apps at Dribba, previously co-founded Examfy and scaled it to over 10,000 users.

A bit about me

I'm a software engineer based in Castelldefels, just south of Barcelona. I studied Computer Science and have spent the years since building products, mostly mobile-first and always with an eye for the full stack.

In 2022 I co-founded Examfy, a photo management platform for educational environments that grew to over 10,000 users. That project gave me a deep respect for product thinking, infrastructure, and the discipline it takes to build something from zero to production.

Outside of work I'm drawn to hardware: microcontrollers, sensors, and the overlap between software and the physical world. I'm currently applying to a Master's in Robotics and Automation, the next step in a direction I've been heading for a long time.

Useless Box
An Arduino Pro Mini device with relay-based self-latching power, escalating audio via DFPlayer Mini, and mid-action interruption handling. More interesting inside than the name suggests.
