I compress a product team into one person.

AI & Technical Product Manager: product, design, growth and code. I've proven it building from scratch, alone, and leading teams at the scale of millions of users.

Facts, not adjectives.

Proof
Record 2006 – today
  • Scale

    Millions of users protected by the anti-fraud machine learning I led as PM.

  • 0→1

    LockLove, from idea to Google Play: my own concept, on a paid subscription.

  • Budget

    €20M+ managed in performance at Adevinta and 21 Buttons, with ROI as religion.

  • Clients

    fabrica Studio (opens in a new tab): projects from scratch: product, design, code, business plan and go-to-market.

  • Startup

    Co-founder, CMO & COO of Nexus Clips, with funding rounds raised.

  • Teams

    4–8 people led, in corporations and in startups.

I've played every position on the team.

360°
  1. Product

    From idea to backlog and from backlog to production. At scale (Adevinta) and from zero (Nexus, LockLove).

  2. Design

    Branding, UI/UX in Figma and a pixel-perfect obsession. This website is the proof.

  3. Growth

    I've automated my own work and my team's since before it was called growth engineering.

  4. Build with AI

    I don't code blind: I bring the judgment to catch bugs, shortcuts and bad decisions. The result runs in production.

  5. Leadership

    The real job: clarify, prioritize and unblock.

  6. Founder

    Building from nothing: validate the idea, form the team and go raise the money.

An app that lives on your lock screen.

Case
Own concept · Google Play

The messages that matter don't ping you: they wait. So I built an app that sends no notifications at all.

87 languages · zero notifications

Twenty years, no gaps.

The origin

Understanding how something works isn't enough for me: I have to build it. The first time I went big, it was a stratospheric balloon.

It rose to the stratosphere and never came back. I'd build it again tomorrow.

And I still listen to the sky: if you follow a flight over Barcelona on FlightRadar24 (opens in a new tab), part of that signal comes from my antenna.
