About Alvaro

What I Bring to the Table
I have a strong technical mindset, critical thinking, and a genuine passion for technology and software projects. Whether working in Python or Java, I am comfortable with both languages and enjoy tackling complex problems and designing solutions.

Background
I hold an engineering degree obtained in Spain and a two-year master’s degree completed in France. My interest in software development began during my master’s thesis, where I worked on modeling the vibrations of a simply supported beam, which introduced me to computational methods and technical problem-solving through code (
After graduating, I started my professional career in the automotive sector, first at Renault and later at ZF, gaining experience in industrial and engineering-driven environments. I later joined Sopra Steria, where I worked on Java-based projects for a French client within a multidisciplinary team. During this period, I built a solid technical foundation, including version control with GitLab, CI/CD pipelines, and collaborative development practices, while also developing more advanced skills such as client interaction and working in a real Agile environment.

Subsequently, I moved into a Project/Program Manager role in the public sector, where I was responsible for technical aspects related to vehicles and the transport of dangerous goods. Today, I am looking for challenging and meaningful projects to work on, while continuing to upskill—currently focusing on Kotlin and AWS, for which I plan to obtain a certification in the short term. Driven by curiosity, I also develop personal projects, including mobile applications and web apps, to keep learning and experimenting with new technologies.

Motivation
I am currently looking for challenging, meaningful projects where I can have real impact, keep learning, and contribute to building high-quality software.
