// About
Twelve years of building backend systems that don't get to fail.
I'm a full-stack developer based in Barcelona with a PHP and Laravel core — over 12 years designing, building, and maintaining web applications and enterprise systems for clients who can't afford quiet failures in production.
I've spent seven years as backend developer for a multinational energy provider's enterprise applications, five years building systems for Catalonia's regional education department, and I currently run my own technical stack end-to-end as founder of Copyus — a Laravel platform, WooCommerce stores, a point-of-sale app in Electron/React, automated data pipelines, and self-hosted infrastructure.
I move between PHP/Laravel, Java, and full-stack JavaScript depending on what the system actually needs, not what's trendy — and I work comfortably across Catalan, Spanish, English, and Bengali with international, multilingual teams.

// Process
How I approach a build.
01
Discover
Understand the real constraint — compliance, scale, legacy systems, or a deadline — before writing a line of code.
02
Architect
Design the data model and API surface first. Most production pain starts as a schema decision made too fast.
03
Build
Ship in small, reviewable increments — in Laravel, Java, or whatever the client's stack already is.
04
Harden & Ship
Test the failure path, not just the happy path, then hand over documentation the next developer can actually use.
