I had a curious start at the university in my first year of Medicine. I changed majors and ended up studying Industrial Engineering at the UPC in Barcelona.

When I finished I started directly in the world of ERP (Ax2009, AX2012...) but having the luck of being able to combine ERP tasks with tasks from other areas such as BI and systems.

Right now I run the technical department of the company where I work and I have the great opportunity to teach and help my colleagues grow in the same way that they did with me at the time. It is a very beautiful feeling that accompanies me every day and that I see rewarded every time they see that they have taken a "little step" alone.

Hi, I’m Rohan, I co-founded Datazip and spend most of my time working on OLake, our open-source project that makes it easier to sync database data into Apache Iceberg. I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with data systems and figuring out how to make them simpler and faster for engineers to use. Along the way, I’ve learned a ton from the open-source community, and I love giving back by sharing what’s worked (and what hasn’t!) as we build. Excited to swap stories and learn from all of you at the meetup!
