Senior Software Engineer who's enthusiastic with Rust, data systems performance and streaming algorithms. Plus, I'm a big fan of reducing my carbon footprint 🌱
Iván is a superb engineer. If you’re hiring, don’t miss this opportunity. You don’t get the chance to hire someone like him very often!
The new year brought some unexpected news: I've been impacted by a restructure at Broadcom.
Now open to new opportunities as a Senior/Staff Java Developer (remote from Madrid).
Happy to connect if there’s a potential fit.

"Coding Rust with Claude Code and Codex" matches my experience. Rust is still young, but coding agents are already solid on it thanks to the compiler.
Bonus points for automating cargo clippy/cargo fmt and exposing bacon via tmux or zellij 🤓

I don’t know what OpenAI changed this weekend, but ChatGPT and Cursor felt like a major downgrade. Even basic tasks failed, from image resizing scripts to Pokémon recognition. This is what makes working with big tech LLMs so frustrating: opaque updates and no changelog you can trust

One last article on my blog to close the year. My work setup has changed a lot lately, even the way I interact with software, so here are my ramblings about it.
Git and Markdown are all you need

I once told a PM "We aren't interested in this feature, so let's skip the meeting." He insisted we meet anyway. He didn't want to sell me, he wanted my technical feedback. Brendan published a great post about this exact dynamic and how Intel is actually listening www.brendangregg.com/blog/2025-11...

Spent way too long getting eBPF + Rust working on mixed setups (ARM Macs, Windows, Linux). Wrote up the approach that finally made everything click. Lima, Aya templates, uprobe examples, everything that actually worked.

Closing an important phase today after three months working on projects at @fic-udc.bsky.social at @udc.gal. Grateful to the DB Lab and to the Green IA & algs chair for an inspiring journey. I’ll keep collaborating with the university but there are new exciting things ahead!

As I prepare my JUG talk and revisit Java 24 and 25, I appreciate how well the new concurrency tools fit together. Virtual Threads simplify threading, Structured Concurrency brings clarity to task management, and Scoped Values make context handling elegant. Java’s getting seriously fun to work with.

Kafka past community culture was one of the best parts for me. Very technical people, from multiple competing companies, collaborating and pushing the ecosystem forward together. The level of discourse was absurdly high. I could learn real things in every thread.

I thought my next post would be something different, but this project ended up being enjoyable enough that it deserved a write up.
