Software Engineer from Madrid, Spain. Founder of Expora.

I’m a software engineer who cares less about clever code — and more about systems that keep working when reality changes. Most of my professional work has been in .NET / C#, building and refactoring real production systems: APIs, legacy platforms, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
