What I am doing now

I am the architect on a legacy modernisation of an Android smartPOS payment platform for BBVA, working through Minsait in a four-engineer mobile team.

The codebase arrived as a loosely implemented MVVM with business logic scattered through the UI layer. We moved it to MVI with a real domain layer, which made it testable for the first time — coverage now sits around 80% — and wired the whole thing into Jenkins CI/CD. I was not brought in as the lead. I ended up owning the technical decisions and the architecture.

Alongside that I am co-founding Persus, an HR SaaS platform launching in Q4 2026, where I own product and architecture and am building the backend in Java/Spring. It is the first time I am applying fifteen years of client work to a product of my own, which is a very different kind of problem.

Senior Mobile Developer — Architect / Technical Lead

Minsait (BBVA Group) · Remote, Spain

Architect and de facto technical lead on the modernisation of a legacy Android smartPOS payment platform, within a four-engineer mobile team, ahead of market launch.

Detail
  • Led the rearchitecture from a poorly implemented MVVM codebase to MVI with a dedicated domain layer, extracting business logic that previously sat in the UI
  • Raised automated test coverage to ~80% — the separation of concerns made the codebase meaningfully testable for the first time
  • Integrated the build and release flow into Jenkins CI/CD
  • Own payment backend and terminal API integration, and drive the technical decisions the team builds against
  • Work directly with product owners, translating product vision into technically feasible increments and realistic scope

Founder / Principal Engineer

Lapisoft Projects SL · A Coruña, Spain

Software company delivering mobile and backend products. 15–20 client products over eleven years, from targeted technical consulting to full turnkey delivery. I own the entire cycle: client discovery, product and UX definition, front-end, back-end and architecture, development, release, and long-term maintenance.

Detail
  • Delivery teams of 2–3 engineers on 6–12 month cycles
  • Multi-tenant clinical data platform: built 2015, still in production across 50–100 independent hospital IT environments, managing 1,000+ records
  • Owned GDPR compliance, data processing agreements and security review with dozens of independent IT departments — the critical path on every deployment
  • Built data pipelines and ML-based pattern exploration over longitudinal records; recommender systems across several client products
  • Modelling an unfamiliar business quickly alongside non-technical domain experts is the core skill — and the reason clients returned across a decade

Indra · Remote, Spain

Android development within a ten-engineer mobile team building public-transport mobility solutions for Spain's smart cities programme, deployed across several Spanish cities, and for the Cairo Monorail in Egypt.

Detail
  • Built passenger-facing mobile features for the Cairo Monorail — trip planning, journey information, in-app ticket purchase
  • Delivered as part of a distributed international team, coordinating in English with engineering and client-side stakeholders across time zones
  • Implemented map-based features and real-time data processing pipelines for live vehicle and service data at city scale, integrating external APIs across the mobile–backend boundary

Research Scholar Associate

Carnegie Mellon University · Human Sensing Lab, Robotics Institute

Applied machine learning to multimodal clinical data for automated detection of Parkinson's disease symptoms in uncontrolled home environments. Published at IEEE EMBS.

Selected work

Four products, chosen for what they demanded rather than what they used.

50–100 hospital IT environments

Multi-tenant clinical data platform still running

Lapisoft · built 2015

Patient-data platform managing 1,000+ records across independent hospital networks. Data pipelines and ML-based pattern exploration over longitudinal records. The hard part was never the code — it was GDPR compliance, data processing agreements and security review with dozens of separate IT departments.

Cairo driverless monorail, Egypt

Monorail passenger app

Indra · 2023–2024

One of the largest driverless mass-transit systems built. I worked on the passenger-facing app — trip planning, journey information, in-app ticket purchase — in a ten-engineer team, coordinating in English across time zones.

Published Nutrición Hospitalaria, 2023

NEmecum — clinical decision support

Lapisoft · 2022

Rules-based calculation and decision support for enteral nutrition and infant formula prescribing, replacing manual work from manufacturer datasheets. Clinical validation of shipped software, which is rarer than it sounds.

~400k population served

Water utility operations platform

Lapisoft · multi-year

Data acquisition and reporting for a mid-size city's water supply. Continuous ingestion from field systems, with automated regulatory reporting that had previously required manual compilation.

Domains I have had to learn

Eleven years of running my own company taught me the part most engineering roles never touch — sitting with a client who does not work in software, understanding a business I knew nothing about the week before, and turning that into something that ships.
