I'm the creator, Co-founder and CEO of Nabumbu Toys(2015). In 2006 I co-founded El Desmarque with an amazing team of Journalists in Sevilla. I've built another products with my partners. Moodyo (social shopping network) and Twissues (Twitter backup and search tool) are among them.

My background

I started designing and coding websites in 1996. I studied for two years Computer Sciences at the University of Seville but I got bored and left to join Communication University. Computers are a big part of my life, so I never gave up learning how to code despite of being a journalist.

In 1999 I started working at the Design Department of ABC de Sevilla -the biggest selling newspaper in Andalusia (Spain)- two years later I got my Bachelor's Degree in Communication at the external campus of the University of Wales in Seville (CEADE University). I had the opportunity of learn a lot of Graphic Design, Infographics and, of course, Communication. Finally, I became the CTO of ABC de Sevilla Online in 2007 and had the chance to work with an amazing team.

From 2002 to 2007, I worked as a teacher in the external campus of the University of Wales in Seville (CEADE). I taught lessons of Information Technologies to Communication and Tourism students. From 2005 to 2010 I also gave some online lessons to journalist from 30 countries in the IUP Digital Journalism Master.

In 2006 I co-founded 3dsignia, a little communication company that's also an incubator for projects like Moodyo. That year I received a call from a friend: "Hi, we need a cheap programmer to build a sport news website". Just a month later I found myself co-founding El Desmarque.

In June, 2015, Nabumbu Toys was born. It's a social shopping network for kids, parents and influencers.

In my spare time I like writing, reading, playing drums
