Professional Experience

His professional career has unfolded almost entirely at IBM and its subsidiaries (ViewNext). He began his career in 1989 as a programmer assigned to a banking institution, specializing in systems integration and communications for banking distribution channels—such as branches and ATMs—from a highly technical perspective.

Following a period of progressively increasing responsibilities in project development and people management (Technical Director of  ViewNext´s Catalonia Branch, 2000–2006), he joined IBM SA in May 2006 as a Senior Systems Architect.

In this role, he has focused on designing diverse solutions—particularly in systems integration and advanced data processing—for clients across sectors such as finance, the public sector, and industry.

At the end of 2024, after approximately 35 years of service, he left IBM to dedicate himself fully to teaching and independent consulting.
