In this challenge I provide my knowledge in user experience, usability and interface design. One of our mottos in our projects is that they should be simple, easy to use and beautiful.

I was born in Albacete, I estudied Telecomunications Engineering in Vigo and later a Web technologies postgraduate in the University of Castilla-La Mancha. I have worked as user experience consultant for Movistar and I have been project manager in the development of some of the BBVA Group mobile apps.

In 1998 I started my “webcareer” with my own webpage. I clearly saw that the Internet was going to change it all; now, mobile devices are the next big step.

In this challenge, I provide my knowledge in different technologies, my experience in consulting world and my sense of humor.

I have always loved Technology world. When I was very young I spent much time with the scatron, looking inside my remote control cars or playing with a computer. At high school I qualified to the National Physics Olympics (I started being a geek very soon) and later I studied Telecomunications Engineering in Vigo. After I got the degree I started working in some R&D projects at the University and studying to be a PhD. Finally, I became a software consultant at Indra, where I had the occassion to work in projects with such big clients as the Xunta, Gas Natural or Inditex.
