About me

Integration Engineer with 10+ years connecting hardware, software and protocols in industrial, automotive and IoT environments.

Production stack: Node.js, MariaDB, Docker, Linux. Dual background in telecommunications (UPV) and electronics (TUS Ireland).

I bridge hardware constraints, network protocols and application software without needing someone else in between. Currently combining development with university teaching at Nebrija's School of Engineering.
