About

I started at Abacum as a Senior Front-end Engineer and later moved into an Engineering Manager role, where I combined my technical background 💻 with people leadership 👥. Over the years I’ve worked on building and maintaining financial solutions, always with the goal of shipping reliable and scalable software together with cross-functional teams. I graduated in Computer Engineering 🎓 from the University of Seville, and since then I’ve focused mainly on React, Vue, and TypeScript. As an Engineering Manager, my work has been more about people than projects: running performance reviews, mentoring, helping people grow in their careers (including promotions), hiring, and improving onboarding so new teammates can be productive faster. I also know what it’s like to work in a startup that’s growing fast — dealing with uncertainty, making things work with limited resources, and pushing together as a team to reach a Series B 🚀. It’s a challenge I’ve learned a lot from and really enjoy.
