About me

Based in Madrid, Spain

I’m a senior software engineer. At Nexthink, I build scalable web applications and distributed systems, specialising in React, microfrontends, and Module Federation.

I’ve led the migration of 40+ microfrontends and improved React performance by up to 70%. I recently completed an MSc in Artificial Intelligence, where I built an AI-powered SRE agent for incident diagnosis and remediation guidance.
