About me

I turn technical curiosity into systems that run themselves.

I'm studying the higher-level diploma in Network Systems Administration (ASIR) at CEAC, with real IT work experience and three years of self-taught practice integrating technology.

I've worked as an IT Assistant and Systems Technician at Flops Ingeniería, and felt the pressure of motorsport as a Trackside Assistant at Aspar Circuit.

My passion for tech led me to build a home-automation ecosystem with Home Assistant —solar panels, alarms, AI and sensors— unified in a single platform. In 2026 I brought that same approach to the site you're looking at: custom-built and self-hosted by me, with AI as a copilot.

Technical depth and operational versatility, in one person.

My value lies at the intersection of running the infrastructure and integrating the solutions that run on top of it.

01

Autonomy & integration

I don't just manage networks: I design and integrate tailor-made solutions for everyday problems, leaning on AI as a tool. Learning that goes well beyond the classroom.

02

Adaptability under pressure

My trackside experience in motorsport gave me mental agility and the ability to react to the unexpected — something hard to gain in a conventional office.

03

Integrative vision

I unify scattered systems into efficient platforms, always chasing simplicity in the management of complex infrastructure.

04

Resourceful curiosity

My drive to explore new concepts lets me tackle technical problems from unconventional angles, finding solutions where others see limits.

05

360º perspective

I combine ASIR with my own projects: I understand how an app is coded and also how the network and server must be configured to run optimally, securely and at scale.

06

Tools, AI included

I use a broad range of tools, from standard ones to those I build myself. And yes, in 2026, AI too: not to replace knowledge, but to complement it.

Selected work

Infrastructure, automation and code I own.

A selection of real systems I design, build and keep running in production.

2024 — present

24/7 infrastructure on an Ubuntu server, built on Docker containers orchestrated with Portainer and updated by Watchtower. The network is secured with a Caddy reverse proxy, Cloudflare DNS and SSO via Authentik, and integrates services like Nextcloud, Vaultwarden or Stirling PDF, monitored by Glances and Uptime Kuma.

Smart ecosystem

2023 — present

Unifying disparate systems into a single control interface. With Home Assistant I've integrated solar panels, a security alarm, comfort sensors, lighting, blinds and AI. The system makes autonomous decisions based on solar surplus or presence at home, optimizing consumption with no human intervention.

2026

This portfolio isn't a template. It's a tailor-made build (frontend and backend) made with modern technologies and AI as a tool, with motion and 3D, integrating a database and an email service. It's deployed on my own self-hosted infrastructure, closing the loop between software and systems administration.

2024 — present

Reusing and optimizing architectural spaces to host IT infrastructure. I turned two built-in utility cabinets in my hallway into the nerve center of the home network, reusing the pre-installed structural cabling to centralize every Home Lab service cleanly and discreetly, blended into the home's aesthetics.
