Professional Summary

I bring 10+ years of experience working with international teams in Spanish, English, and Catalan, alongside 5+ years building in Rust and a solid foundation in blockchain and cryptographic concepts. Experienced deploying production systems that implement cybersecurity controls and cryptography-adjacent components. I bridge Linux OS engineering and decentralized stacks while managing heterogeneous environments end-to-end.

What I Deliver

End-to-end software services for decentralized products: architecture, Rust development, infrastructure automation, and secure deployments. I help teams ship reliable systems that run on Linux, scale across nodes, and stay maintainable over time.
