Software Engineer — Agentic AI & Automation
I design agentic AI and automation workflows — always human-in-the-loop — with one foot in engineering and the other in sport.
About
I'm a product-focused software engineer who cares less about which layer the code lives in and more about whether what we ship actually makes a difference. The problems I work on sit at the intersection of product, design and engineering — what are we solving, for whom, and how do we know it worked?
The way I usually work is by iterating: I'd rather put a small but complete slice of the product in front of real users and learn from their feedback than polish something nobody asked for. That rests on the practices that make shipping fast and safe: CI/CD, short feedback loops and Extreme Programming habits, like honest tests and small, reversible steps.
More and more of that development happens with AI. I design agent workflows that take an idea to a reviewed PR in less time, letting LLMs plan, write and test code — always with a human in the loop before anything ships.
What I won't trade away: accessibility, performance, tests that tell the truth, and AI that earns its place in a real production codebase.

Gloouds
Master's thesis built in collaboration with Gloouds, an existing football scouting company: a feature to query player data in natural language with an LLM (GPT-4o-mini). It uses a 'Parameter Extractor' pattern that replaces text-to-SQL for security: the LLM only extracts parameters and the query runs in a controlled way.

Beta Center
Freelance project for a boutique sports centre in Córdoba: the website plus an online enrolment system, live in production with real payments. Stripe Checkout integration (idempotent webhooks, 3D Secure, session expiry) and integration with the client's CRM. Built with React, TypeScript and Vite on TanStack Start.

Fantasy Engine
Decision engine for fantasy football in Python (Pydantic v2, asyncio): deterministic engines for the transfer market, tactics and line-up optimisation, plus an LLM-based conversational assistant with tool calling. Core design rule: the LLM writes, it never calculates.

CineMatch
A Tinder-style app for deciding what to watch without losing half an hour to the choice: swipe film and series cards right (watch), left (skip) or up (already seen, saved to your catalogue). Works as a couple or in party mode for several people, and uses the TMDB API for the catalogue and for where to stream each title.

License Plate Tracker
Web app for a challenge among friends: hunting licence plates in photos. Built with Supabase and Vercel.
