I started coding at 12. Today I am the CTO of an American startup.

17 years building software, products, and companies. Startups, large companies, and international teams. Today I lead technology at Hubble and share what I have learned about engineering, career, and business.

What I do

From the first line of code to the decisions that move a company.

My career started with writing code. Today it means building products, leading people, and making technology decisions that move the business.

Software engineering

I build systems that have to work outside the development environment. Architecture, performance, infrastructure, and the decisions that matter when the product grows.

Artificial intelligence

I work with AI applied to real products. Agents, LLMs, and automations that solve problems, cut costs, and open new possibilities.

Leadership and business

I lead engineering teams and take part in the decisions that connect technology to the company's growth. Writing good code is only part of the job.

My story

From a leaking roof to CTO at 29.

I started coding at 12, in a room with a leaking roof. I built a site that reached more than 100,000 visits a month.

At 16 I got my first job as a developer. At 20 I was already working at a large company.

Then came the UK, Malta, Abu Dhabi, and years working with people from all over the world.

I also started companies, made mistakes, started again, and learned that building a career is not only about knowing how to code.

Today I am the CTO at Hubble, an American startup in San Francisco. And I am still learning.
