Gracias por tomarte el tiempo para leer mi biografía, lo cual demuestra tu interés en el maravilloso mundo de las finanzas y la contabilidad de costes.

Permíteme una breve introducción: He trabajado como CFO y controller durante mucho tiempo, y soy apasionado de la técnica financiera y de costes. Disfruto analizando procesos, y esta pasión me ha llevado a impartir clases en distintas universidades, donde he aprendido tanto de mis alumnos como espero que ellos hayan aprendido algo de mí.

Una pregunta que a menudo me hacen es sobre los sectores en los que he trabajado. Para mí, el desafío no es en qué sectores he trabajado, sino cuántos me faltan por explorar y aprender.
Como apasionado de las finanzas, el control de gestión y los costes, actualmente me encuentro inmerso en el mundo de Dynamics, lo cual representa toda una aventura.

Si estás buscando una sesión que combine visión de negocio aplicada a Dynamics y que, en algún momento, desafíe tus habilidades con cálculos, no lo pienses más, no vengas a mi sesión, o sí.

As a Subject Matter Expert, I bring domain-spanning knowledge with strong interdisciplinary problem-solving capabilities in frontend development, distributed systems, data analytics, cloud architecture, and system reliability. My focus lies in leveraging intelligent agents, advanced developer tooling, and GPU-accelerated platforms to build true scalable, self-adaptive systems.

This includes designing solutions that emphasize reliability, security, self-isolation, and infrastructure-as-code principles, using custom-defined resources and declarative stateful mapping. I apply practices from AIOps, MLOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) to ensure operational excellence and long-term maintainability.

I have extensive experience implementing near real-time metrics, telemetry, and event tracking pipelines, processing terabytes of data across diverse environments. My background includes architecting distributed computing systems capable of handling large-scale data workloads with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and fault tolerance.

In the banking and finance domain, I have developed software centered on reactive streams, performance analytics, resilient event handling, and interactive dashboards.
