Hi, my name is Alberto 👋

I'm a software engineer from Spain 🇪🇸, working remotely for a Swiss 🇨🇭 startup.

I've been building software for 3 years, where I have shipped features to production, setting up CI/CD for a team of three engineers, and exploring how AI can improve our daily workflow. When I'm not coding, you'll usually find me running, lifting at the gym, reading The Stormlight Archive, or playing video games.
