About Antonio

I build production software. Not prototypes, not MVPs that die in staging — apps that ship to the App Store and Google Play, serve real users, and stay maintained.

I've been doing this for 10 years. My core is mobile: Flutter and React Native for iOS and Android. But I genuinely cover the full stack — backend in Laravel or Node.js, web front-end in React or Astro — without subcontracting the parts that need connecting.

Since 2024, I work AI-native. That means a RAG in production for an app with tens of thousands of active users, an on-device AI engine that runs entirely on the phone without any external API, and an autonomous multi-agent pipeline for real-time monitoring and structured delivery. Not planned features —running systems.

I work well with non-technical founders. I make architecture decisions, explain trade-offs without jargon, prioritize around the business, and get a product live without accumulating unnecessary technical debt. If you need one engineer who owns
the whole thing — I do that.

    Software Engineer
    May 2022 - Today (4 years and 2 months)
    Jaen, Spain
    Worked across multiple parallel client and personal projects as sole technical
    lead — mobile, backend, and AI — owning the full cycle from architecture to production.

    Core pattern across all engagements: one engineer covering the complete stack. Flutter and React Native for iOS and Android, backend in Laravel or Node.js, web front-end in React or Astro. No handoffs, no subcontractors.

    Fractional CTO work for early-stage startups: architecture decisions, stack evaluation, trade-off analysis, and technical roadmap alongside non-technical founders. Ongoing advisory role in production AI systems for a startup with active users.

    AI integration since 2024 — production work, not experiments:
    · RAG pipeline with LLM in production (retrieval, caching, context management)
    · On-device AI inference in a mobile app — no cloud API, fully private
    · Autonomous multi-agent pipeline for monitoring and structured delivery

    8+ apps shipped across health, real estate, education, and sustainability —
    each from first architecture decision to App Store and Google Play.
