Software Architect & Technical Lead

I shape the domain, lead the team and answer for what runs in production.

Fifteen years in .NET. Today I own the academic-records and official-degree domain for the Proeduca group with Clean Architecture, DDD and CQRS, a Scrum team behind it and a test coverage line the pipeline will not let drop below 80%.

Projects that show delivery and judgement

Not just the stack: the problem, the technical decision and a result someone can actually use.

Team work manager on Azure DevOps

Internal tool the team uses to manage capacity, sprints and tasks, and to create tickets in Jira and Azure DevOps. FastAPI, Astro and Docker.

Method

How I build

Four fronts that show up in almost everything I deliver.

Architecture

Systems that are still maintainable two years later: clear boundaries, Spec-Driven Development (spec and design before implementation) and documented decisions.

APIs REST Clean Architecture SDD

Backend

Where most of my hours have gone: .NET and ASP.NET Core, APIs, data access and everything that keeps a product running.

.NET C# ASP.NET Core Python SQL Server

Frontend

Angular for enterprise applications and Astro for fast web products. TypeScript on both sides and no JavaScript beyond what is needed.

Angular TypeScript Astro Tailwind CSS RxJS

Applied AI

AI inside the development flow and inside the product: SDD with agents, model integration and automation of the repetitive parts.

Skills for agents

My conventions, in one file

Each skill is a Markdown file that hands your agent the same judgement I use to review a PR, plan a sprint or hunt a bug. Download them, read them whole, install them with one command.

azure-pr-review

Azure DevOps

Review a pull request against risk criteria —correctness, contract, security— and leave every comment anchored to the right line.

azure-pbi-implement

Azure DevOps

From work item ID to a tree ready for review: branch, implementation against the criteria, build and tests, changelog and PR note. Nothing committed.

bug-hunt

.NET Core

A targeted hunt for correctness bugs in C# and TypeScript: concurrency, nulls, dates, half-finished transactions and swallowed errors.

code-tour

VS Code

Guided walkthroughs that open inside the editor, with every step anchored to a file and a line that actually exist.

Looking for someone who can hold the domain?

Open to conversations about software architecture and technical leadership on .NET products, in Madrid or remote. Tell me the problem and the team context: I reply within 24–48 h with judgement, not with “I’ll take a look”.
