Founder and owner of Martin Schenk S.L. since 1999. I build, maintain and host my own software products including palimpalem.com (since 2004), one of the longest-running website builders in Spain. I work as an indie developer: designing, coding and shipping full-stack web applications and SaaS products independently, combined with managed hosting & server infrastructure for clients. Current focus: AI-assisted development, SaaS products, and AI Agents.
Founded and built an artisanal dehydrated fruit production company from scratch. Custom-built large-scale fruit dehydrators for premium quality — no added sugar, no additives, no preservatives. All products handcrafted with light automation, not industrial. Obtained organic/BIO certification. Developed the NaturSnacks brand, built the e-commerce platform, and established distribution across retail stores throughout Spain and internationally. Negotiated with major retailers including Bio c Bon and El Corte Inglés. Exhibited at major international trade fairs with our own stand: • BioFach Nuremberg (world's largest organic food fair, Feb 2018) — attracted interest from Austria, Germany, France, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland • Salón de Gourmets Madrid (2017) • Alimentaria Barcelona (2018) • ISM Cologne (2017) Products: dehydrated fruits (apple, orange, kiwi, pineapple), kale chips in various flavors, fruit cocktail mixes — available in retail packs and bulk. All BIO/organic certified. Featured on Spanish public radio (RTVE). Successfully sold the company in 2018 to the production partner, who continues to grow the business. The company later won the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture's Prize of Excellence for Innovation for Rural Women.
Founded and built a 265 m² cervecería-restaurant at Plaza del Carmen / Calle Montera in the heart of Madrid — one of the city's top tourist locations, 200m from Puerta del Sol. Led the entire project from zero: location scouting, lease negotiation (signed October 1998), obtaining municipal licenses, securing financing through three banks (Banesto, Banco Santander, Deutsche Bank), and managing a complete €191,000 renovation of the premises across three floors (ground floor, mezzanine, basement). Negotiated an exclusive beer partnership with Grupo Cruzcampo (now part of Heineken). Created a multilingual concept with menus in 5 languages (Spanish, English, German, French, Russian) targeting the international tourist market at one of Madrid's busiest squares. Grew the team from 7 to 15 employees. Managed all aspects of daily operations including staff, suppliers, finances, and customer experience. Successfully sold the business profitably in 2004. Parallel to running the restaurant, continued developing software and web projects through Martin Schenk S.L., including the early foundations of palimpalem.com.
Managed European operations for this IT distribution company. Led a team of 5, overseeing the development and supervision of branch offices across Spain, France, Belgium, England and Austria. Responsible for SAP installations, key account management (ECI, Retail sector) and strategic expansion of the company's European presence.
Promoted from Assistant to the CEO to Head of Sales Administration (19 direct reports) at one of the world's leading scaffolding and event infrastructure manufacturers. Led the modernization and development of the company's sales management software system, applying modularity and flexibility principles. Managed internal sales operations and IT systems for the organization.
