Cloud & Infrastructure

Telecommunications engineer who decided that building the network was more interesting than using it. Focused on cloud infrastructure and networking — designing systems that are solid, well-architected, and actually hold up when things get real.

System Administrator

El Ranchito

Dec 2024 – Jan 2026

Kept a hybrid mess of Windows and Linux servers alive — on-prem, cloud, and everything awkwardly in between.
Got tired of doing the same thing twice, so automated it — deployments, routine ops, all of it via Ansible, scripting, etc.
Babysat AWS resources in production: EC2, S3, IAM — the holy trinity of "whose fault is this access error"
Monitored infrastructure around the clock so outages stayed hypothetical. Mostly.
Spent quality time with ping, traceroute, and Wireshark to chase down poltergeists across the local network — usually tracking them back to a loop in the switch, or (shocker) DNS. It's always DNS.
Coordinated with international teams across timezones because apparently problems don't respect business hours.

Monitoring Engineer

Ayscom · Madrid

May – Sep 2024

Watched live telecom networks so that nobody's call drops — no pressure, just millions of users.
Built KPI dashboards tracking QoS and QoE metrics so the important graphs always went up and to the right.
Handled incidents end-to-end — Grafana says something's on fire, you find out what and fix it, fast.

Engineer Intern

Crambo

Sep 2022 – Mar 2023

Wrote scripts and built GUIs to control A/V hardware via APIs — because physical buttons are apparently too easy.
Designed signal distribution diagrams for matrix controllers, making sure the right audio went to the right place (most of the time).

Infrastructure Automation

AWS web environment built entirely in code — VPC, subnets, security groups, EC2 bootstrapped on first boot. No console, no manual steps, no excuses.

Portfolio

This site. S3 bucket, CloudFront distribution, IAM locked down — provisioned with Terraform from a blank AWS account. Eating my own cooking.
