About

I build end-to-end software products and data systems — from architecture and APIs to production infrastructure — with an AI-native working style: design contracts and acceptance criteria first, accelerate implementation with modern AI tools, and keep full ownership of review, security, debugging, and deploy decisions. With AlfaTactix I took a complex SaaS from idea to production alone: React/TypeScript and FastAPI, PostgreSQL/Redis, Docker on Oracle Cloud + Vercel, Stripe and Spanish e-invoicing, auth/security (JWT, 2FA), and bilingual SEO at scale. Along the way I designed a Python backtesting stack (NumPy/Pandas, multi-timeframe execution, risk and performance analytics) and a documentation-grounded RAG architecture (pre-release). Core stack I work with Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, MUI, Tailwind, Formik/Yup/AJV, i18next, DnD Kit Backend: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, Pydantic, Redis Streams, JWT/RBAC Data & ML: PostgreSQL, NumPy/Pandas/SciPy, scikit-learn, time-series & geospatial pipelines AI: RAG design (chunking, embeddings, pgvector, retrieval-first grounding), LLM-agnostic generation layers Cloud: Docker Compose, OCI, Vercel, Caddy, monitoring & structured logging Research background As a Postgraduate Researcher at the University of Seville (2021–2024), I built automated remote-sensing pipelines for Copernicus (Sentinel) and Landsat data, geospatial ETL, and predictive models (Random Forest, regression) for drought and environmental risk signals with strict time-based validation. I hold an M.Sc. in Civil Engineering (Hydraulic Structures & Water Resources) and have peer-reviewed publications in coastal aquifer / hydro-environmental modelling. How I approach problems I like turning messy domains into structured products: inventory sources, separate what is measurable from what is oversold, and ship something decision-ready. Example: for an xNova take-home on Middle East trade data I evaluated 61 sources, produced a full research package and pilot recommendation, and built an interactive prototype (middle-east-opportunity-explorer.vercel.app). What I’m interested in 0→1 and 1→n product engineering, AI systems that stay grounded in real data (RAG, validation, honesty about limits), fintech/SaaS platforms, and applied geospatial or environmental intelligence where research rigor meets scalable software.
