Independent software consultant

I'm a software engineer with over 15 years of experience, based in Madrid. I work with founders and small teams as a fractional CTO — technical strategy, product bootstrapping, hands-on consulting, and practical AI adoption in the engineering workflow.

Services

How I can help

Fractional CTO

Your technical co-founder, on demand.

For early-stage and growing teams without a full-time technical leader. I set the technical strategy, choose the stack, hire and mentor your first engineers, and stay close to the code when it matters. You get senior judgement without a senior salary.

Product Bootstrapping

From idea to a product you can grow on.

Hands-on support to take a concept from zero to production. I focus on lean, maintainable foundations that support fast iteration today and scale tomorrow — without over-engineering, and without a rewrite a year from now.

Software Consulting

A second brain for hard technical decisions.

Guidance and hands-on work across the full software lifecycle: new systems and features, architectural evolution, and the messy refactors nobody else wants to touch. Code quality and long-term sustainability are the point.

AI-Assisted & Agentic SDLC

AI that pulls its weight — under your control.

Practical integration of AI into your development workflow, without sacrificing quality or control. I help teams adopt tools and agents that raise productivity and fit naturally into how they already work.

Process

How I work

01

Intro call

A short, free conversation about your goals, constraints and where you are today.

02

Diagnosis & plan

I map the system and the risks, then propose a concrete plan: scope, sequence and trade-offs.

03

Deliver together

I work alongside your team — in the architecture, the code and the decisions — and leave it clean.
