Why companies hire me

Four defensible reasons, not slogans.

01

Real production, not demos

Code in production with high concurrency, global campaign deadlines and banking requirements. Real pressure-tested experience, not showcase projects.

02

End-to-end, no buck-passing

DB design, API, UI, deployment and observability. I work solo or lead, depending on the piece. No expensive handoffs between invented roles.

03

CET with US overlap, async-first

Barcelona/CET timezone with 4 h US-East overlap. Written docs, detailed PRs, decisions logged. Meetings only when they add value.

04

AI-augmented, not AI-driven

Claude Code and MCP daily to accelerate delivery. Every output reviewed by me before it lands on main. Speed without losing judgment.

Case study: high-traffic campaign

Real architecture and technical decisions from a production project.

User

15k+ req/min peak

Nginx + CDN

Static cache + SSL

Laravel + Queues

API + Redis cache

Vue 3 + Suspense

Lazy routes 95KB

The problem

Global campaign with a 48-hour launch window. Expected peaks of 15k+ requests/minute on a Laravel + Vue stack. The previous frontend collapsed under load due to synchronous rendering of heavy components and lack of strategic backend caching.

The solution

  • Implemented route-based lazy loading in Vue 3 + Suspense to reduce initial bundle from 180KB to 95KB.
  • Designed Redis caching layer for product endpoints and campaign config (dynamic TTL based on launch phase).
  • Laravel queues for Bizum payment processing and ticket generation without blocking user requests.
  • Blue/green deploy via Laravel Forge for zero-downtime during the traffic spike.

The result

  • 99.9% uptime during the 48-hour campaign.
  • API response time p95: <120ms at peak load.
  • Zero critical production incidents.
  • The agency reused the stack for 3 subsequent campaigns.

Client and product anonymized under NDA. Stack and metrics are real.

Technical profile

The areas where I have real production experience: Laravel/PHP backend, Vue frontend, deployment, performance and AI-assisted development.

Full Stack end-to-end

DB, API, UI, deployment and observability — no handoffs between roles. I've built production-scale product with Laravel + Vue where a single person owns the full cycle. You don't need to explain how the pieces fit.

PHP Laravel Astro Vue.js

PHP / Laravel Back-End

What I've shipped to production: complex migrations, queues, caching, authentication, banking integrations and APIs that other teams consume without filing support tickets.

PHP Laravel MySQL API REST

Vue.js Front-End with judgment

Interfaces that don't just look good — they work well. Vue 3, modern TypeScript and TailwindCSS for high-concurrency campaigns and product, where real-load performance matters.

Vue.js JavaScript TailwindCSS

Technologies

Production stack for teams that need Laravel, PHP, Vue, testing, deployment and technical judgment from week one.

AI-Augmented Development

I integrate AI into my daily flow to ship faster without sacrificing quality: Claude Code writes, refactors and reviews code under my supervision; Claude Design and Google Stitch accelerate UI iterations; MCP servers automate repetitive tasks (data, deploys, observability). Result: shorter feature cycles and code reviewed by both human and machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions from companies looking to hire me

Are you available for full-time remote employment?

Yes. I'm open to full-time remote roles with EU- and Spain-based companies. I also consider long-term contracts and temporary team reinforcement. My focus is full stack work on Laravel, Vue.js and AI-augmented development.

What's your salary or rate range?

Indicative range for permanent roles: €55–75k gross/year depending on scope, equity and benefits. Fixed-term or B2B conditions depend on role, duration and responsibility. I optimize for product impact, team quality and tech stack — not only the headline number.

Do you work with non-EU companies (US / UK / LatAm)?

Yes. I work with US, UK and LatAm companies as a Spanish sole trader (autónomo) invoicing in EUR or USD, or via EOR providers like Deel, Remote and Oyster. CET timezone gives 4 h overlap with US-East and 1 h with US-West.

Do you accept equity as part of the package?

Yes, when the offer combines a fair base salary plus a reasonable equity component (cliff + vesting, 409A or comparable). I evaluate equity on stage, ownership %, dilution and cap-table transparency.

What's your notice period?

Usually 15 calendar days, depending on the employment or contract model. I can usually start within 2 to 3 weeks of signature.

Do you accept contracts outside Spain?

Yes. I work with EU, UK and US companies as a Spanish sole trader (autónomo) invoicing in EUR, or via EOR providers like Deel, Remote and Oyster when employment is preferred. I sign NDAs and standard IP assignment clauses without issue.

What's your English level?

C1. I have been working in daily English meetings for 3+ years with distributed teams across Europe, the UK and the US. Written and verbal communication are not a blocker.

How do you work remotely and async?

Short daily standup, written specs in Notion or Linear, thorough PR descriptions, and EU-overlapping hours (CET). I document decisions so the team stays aligned without meeting overload, and I flag blockers early.

Can you start in 2 weeks?

Yes, depending on signature date and any background-check or contract paperwork your team needs. I keep my pipeline transparent and confirm exact start dates during the offer stage.

Do you work with stacks beyond Laravel and Vue?

Yes. I ship Node, React, Nuxt and Astro in production, and I ramp fast on adjacent stacks (TypeScript, GraphQL, Postgres, Docker). What I bring is solid judgment about architecture, testing and shipping — the framework is a tool.

Do you use AI tools day-to-day?

Yes. Claude Code is my agentic CLI driver for writing, refactoring and reviewing code. I use Claude Design and Google Stitch for AI-assisted UI work, and MCP servers to automate dev workflows (data, deploys, observability). All output is reviewed by me before it reaches main.

Do you sign NDAs and standard IP clauses?

Yes, no problem. I'm used to enterprise paperwork: NDAs, DPA, IP assignment, background checks. I can also work through your preferred EOR or staffing partner if that simplifies the process.
