Professional track record

What I do and what I've built

My career has taken an unconventional path — from hotel operations across Spain and the Middle East, to frontend development, to leading engineering teams and building people systems from scratch. What connects it all is a tendency to build structure where there isn't any and to use technology to solve operational problems that spreadsheets and manual processes can't.

I work at the intersection of people operations, technical program management, and AI-assisted tooling — designing the systems and processes that let engineering teams work well. Currently completing a Master's in Generative AI Engineering. Looking for fully remote international roles in people technology, people ops, or engineering program management.

Problems I've solved

Internal tools, people systems, and operational frameworks built inside engineering organisations.

Internal tooling Cost reduction Python AI

Payroll & Tax Certificate Automation

Our international HR software had no Spanish compliance module for distributing payslips and annual tax certificates. The alternative was licensing a full Spanish HR platform just to use its payroll delivery feature — paying for an entire product to solve one problem. I built a Python tool that pulls payroll files, assigns each document to the right employee, encrypts it, and sends it automatically. The license cost was avoided entirely.

Internal tooling Event ops Full-stack

Company Offsite Management App

Three-day in-person company events are logistically complex for a fully remote team. I built a web app that handles the full lifecycle: RSVP and attendance by day, accommodation allocation, optional activity selection, lunch and dinner venue preferences, and session sign-ups for the evening agenda. Once the agenda is confirmed, it becomes interactive — attendees see their schedule and can save sessions directly to Google Calendar. Replaced a spreadsheet and a chain of Notion forms.

People ops Documentation Org design

Employee Handbook

The company's institutional knowledge lived in scattered Notion pages, in the heads of HR and finance colleagues, and nowhere else. I consolidated it into a single structured handbook — styled, consistent, and complete. Benefits, async communication norms, calendar conventions, learning budget guidelines, onboarding FAQs, and company policies in one place. Written from scratch, not assembled from templates.

People ops OKRs Engineering management

Performance Management System

There was no formal performance process when I joined as Engineering People Manager. I designed one from scratch: OKR-setting with SMART goal validation, 30-60-90 onboarding plans for new engineers, and a mid-year peer feedback questionnaire. The 30-60-90 plans and peer feedback process were implemented and are still in use.

Program management SDLC Cross-functional

Engineering Program Management

Led the company-wide rollout of the SDLC and Secure SDLC framework in direct partnership with the CTO and Head of Cybersecurity. Coordinated adoption across all engineering teams — from process design through documentation, communication, and implementation tracking. Also scoped and co-designed a Go-to-Market application for the internal Innovation and Growth Lab, managing stakeholder alignment across product, engineering, and commercial teams.

People ops Process design AI tooling

AI-Assisted People Operations

Integrated AI tooling into day-to-day people operations — using Claude and Claude Code to build internal tools, automate repetitive processes, and accelerate documentation. Built internal tooling that replaced paid third-party software and reduced manual overhead across HR workflows. Currently completing a Master's in Generative AI Engineering.

Manager README

WHAT THIS IS

A short guide to working with me. Not a values statement or a performance review. Just the things that are useful to know before we start working together.

HOW I COMMUNICATE

Direct and written-first. I prefer async by default and will always document what we agreed so nobody has to remember it. When something is unclear I ask rather than assume. I expect the same in return.

HOW TO GIVE ME FEEDBACK

'That didn't work for me because X' is useful. 'I felt a bit uncomfortable' without context is not — not because I don't care, but because I can't do anything with it. I do not take feedback personally and I do not hold it against people who give it.

WHAT I EXPECT FROM THE PEOPLE I MANAGE

That you tell me when something is wrong before it becomes a crisis. That you own your work — not perfectly, but genuinely. That you ask for help when you need it. I am not here to micromanage and I cannot help with problems I don't know about.

WHAT I'M GOOD AT

Building structure where there isn't any. Translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders. Asking the question nobody else wants to ask in the room. Designing processes that people actually follow. Coordinating cross-functional work across teams that don't naturally talk to each other — and building the lightweight process that makes it stick without becoming bureaucracy.

WHAT I'M STILL WORKING ON

Letting things stay imperfect when done is better than perfect. Delegating the parts I find interesting rather than just the parts I find tedious. Slowing down in conversations when I already know what I think.

WHAT I CARE ABOUT AS A MANAGER

That the people I manage grow. That the team ships things that matter. That we work in a way that is sustainable — not heroic, not chaotic. And that people feel they can tell me the truth.

What I'm looking for

Fully remote, international — No timezone constraints, no relocation. I work best in async-first environments with strong written communication culture.

People technology or engineering operations — Roles at the intersection of people systems, AI tooling, and engineering org design — Head of People Technology, Strategic HRBP, Engineering Program Manager, or similar.

A team that builds things — I want to be somewhere that ships, iterates, and treats operational excellence as a product problem, not an admin function.
