Description

Leader with 9+ years of experience guiding software development teams, specializing in Agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP). Proven expertise in transforming organizational structures, empowering team autonomy, and achieving operational excellence. Passionate about fostering collaborative environments that drive ownership and deliver exceptional outcomes.

My leadership is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of all facets that impact the team: product, technology, best practices, people, and production systems. This approach enables close collaboration with Product Managers, CPOs, and CTOs to ensure seamless execution throughout the product lifecycle.

In addition to my leadership experience, I am actively exploring entrepreneurial challenges by creating and launching side projects that combine technology, product development, and business strategy. Notably, I'm crafting Clip2Coach, a platform that integrates sports coaching with video analysis technology, now serving over 500 users and facilitating the creation of more than 5,000 analysis. These projects have improved my skills in product engineering and in entrepreneurship and business.

As an active member of communities like Software Crafters and Agile Spain, I regularly share insights through talks and workshops on Extreme Programming, Lean practices, and team management. Beyond my professional career, I’ve been coaching sports teams since age 17, holding a national basketball coach certification in Spain and Italy, with experience coaching from youth teams to semi-professional leagues.
