About

Solutions engineer with 20+ years in tech and more than a decade focused on cloud-native infrastructure, containers and automation. From CTO and SRE manager to Senior Solutions Architect at AWS — where I was part of the core team that launched the AWS Spain Region and became a Kubernetes / EKS subject-matter expert — and now Solutions Engineer at Microsoft. I love demystifying complex migrations and running workshops and hackathons.
