What I do
the professional versionFor the last four years I have worked at ioBuilders (opens in a new tab) on a digital trust platform for the legal sector: qualified electronic signature, certified multichannel notification, evidence sealed on TSP and blockchain networks, and digital identity. Around fourteen multi-tenant Micronaut services running on AWS and Oracle Cloud.
I work across the whole lifecycle. Refining requirements with product, writing the Groovy and Java that implements them under DDD and hexagonal architecture, and being the person who traces a production incident through dead-letter queues, Loki logs and Prometheus alerts until the root cause turns up.
Agents that do real work
I founded the shared standards repository my team works from — machine-readable architecture rules distributed as a git submodule to sixteen repositories, so that people and agents follow the same playbook. It also hosts the twelve command-line skills we run daily for incident triage, dead-letter queue review, merge request review and release notes.
One rule I do not break: agents are read-only by default. Nothing mutates production without a human approving it.
How I got here
the short version- 2015–2021, Buenos Aires. Business administration degree, then admin and IT support work. I started automating my own job with scripts, which turned out to be the door in.
- 2021, Barcelona. First developer job, building interfaces in React for client projects.
- 2022, ioBuilders (opens in a new tab). Joined on the frontend, moved to the backend team after four months, and stayed.
- 2026. Working towards starting something of my own.
Stack
what I reach for- Daily: Groovy, Java 21, Micronaut, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, Spock.
- Infra: Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Kustomize, AWS, Oracle Cloud, Grafana, Loki, Prometheus.
- Nights: TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS, Supabase, Astro, Capacitor.
- Agents: Claude Code, MCP, and a lot of opinions about permissions.
