Frequently asked questions — Madrid

Do you work with Madrid corporates (BBVA, Santander, Telefónica)?
Yes. I've led banking and payment integrations in production at Manifiesto, which apply directly to Madrid banking and telco. I understand the security, compliance and traceability language they require.
Does Laravel fit Madrid's typical stack?
Madrid is plural: Laravel + Vue is standard at scaleups (Cabify, Idealista) and tech consultancies, while corporates often mix Java/Node with PHP for internal tooling and portals. I cover both.
Will you go on-site to Madrid?
Yes. Direct Barcelona–Madrid AVE is 2 h 30, or 1 h 15 by flight. On-site onboarding, sprint reviews and ad-hoc events are no problem. Hybrid 1 day/week is evaluable.
What's the typical Madrid salary range for senior Laravel?
Madrid is Spain's top salary market. Senior PHP/Laravel sits at €55–85k depending on product and company. My range (€55–75k) lands in the low-mid band — comfortable for opening conversation.
Do you work with large consultancies?
Yes, evaluated by role and end client. I've seen the body-shopping model and prefer projects where I add technical judgment, not just hands. For serious consultancies with their own product (Plain Concepts, etc.) — no problem.
