About me

I'm based in Madrid, where I've been working in enterprise IT for over 20 years — currently as a Solutions Engineer at Akamai, helping large organizations in Iberia build secure, high-performing web experiences.


The job keeps me close to the interesting edge cases: WAF configurations that need to hold up against real attacks, certificate rotations that can't break mobile apps, CDN architectures built to absorb traffic spikes without flinching. I like the puzzle-solving side of it, and I haven't found a problem yet that didn't have a cleaner solution hiding inside it.


At home, I'm keeping up with two daughters who are growing way too fast. When I get a window, I'm on the padel court, in the gym, or going down a music rabbit hole — my taste has no consistent genre and I refuse to apologize for it.
