Born in Tangier, grown up in Spain (citizenship), lived and worked in UK, Spain, Germany, France and Cyprus.

I studied Industrial Engineering, with major in Electronics & Automation, in Universidad de Cádiz and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.

20 years developing software and hw/sw co-design solutions for several industries: Aerospace (Rosetta and Metop satellites, Crisa/Astrium-EADS), Defence (Spanish MoD), Telecomms (Ericsson, Comneon/Infineon Tech, Philips/NXP, Texas Instruments,...) and Financial (IG Group, Blue Capital Markets Ltd). A freelancer or independent consultant most of the time.

Low level, high-performance code in Java/C/C++/C#/Assembler. Firmware, Device Drivers and Embedded Apps. High-Frequency Quant Trading algorithms (HW based with FPGAs/GPUs and pure SW algos).

Have been working in the derivatives (FX, CFDs) and crypto markets (OTC / DEX) and a Senior SW developer for the Metatrader 4/5 Server platform for several brokers around the planet.

Expert in high-performance SW for trading exchanges, derivatives (FX, CFDs, Options,...) and DEX for cryptos/blockchain. FIX Protocol, REST interfaces/APIs. A common sense engineer with a good sense of business aspects.

A passion for optimization. A Science lover. A geek. A Music enthusiast, from Guns & Roses to Schubert, including Sesame Street songs. "Oldskool" guy missing the "demoscene/assembly" times, but looking forward to replicate those beautiful years!

Back in 1999 I was developing the SW drivers for the cameras (NAVCAM and OSIRIS) of the Rosetta Satellite, which orbited a comet (67P C/G) and landed a probe on its surface just back in 2014. So, if you need some help in a no necessarily so spectacular project, drop me a line or add me to Skype. I'm always glad to help!
