Technology Leader
Fractional CTO
DevOps & AI

I am a Technology Leader with a strong DevOps mindset specialising in high performance architectures handling millions of daily users and financial transactions in the cloud.

As a contractor with my company Rigor Alliance I am available for fractional gigs helping your technical team boost their skills in automation, CI/CD, images creation, monitoring, observability, infrastructure as code, costs reduction and performance improvements. I am lately specialising in emerging aspects in the DevOps ecosystem such as Gitops or Finops in order to keep infrastructure costs under control.

I like contributing to open source projects and giving back to the community organizing the DevOps Barcelona Conference, maintaining Ansistrano (Ansible role with more Github stars) and delivering occassional talks at meetups and tech events.

I am currently specialising in the exciting world of IA which I believe is the biggest revolution we have had in the last 30 years.
