Who am I?

I’m Pablo, a Tech Lead with over 10 years of experience leading and building projects.

I’m a generalist by nature with a minimalist mindset. I focus on removing waste, automation and prioritizing what’s really important.

Proactive and passionate. I love No Code, DevOps, and software quality (yes, I do enjoy writing tests).

Check my bio for more info!

These are some of my personal core values. This is how I love working, and how I think teams should work:

Global vision: we’re not just laying bricks, we are building a castle. Understand the “why” behind every feature.
Minimalism: Pareto’s Law, YAGNI and KISS principles, remove waste rather than adding more stuff to your workflows. Clients/users will give you feedback, but only you should know what is really important.
DevOps: automatic testing, CI/CD are mandatory if we want to stay productive.
Peopleware: projects are about people, ideas are worth nothing. The right attitude outperforms the right ideas long term.
NoCode: writing code is the opposite of AI vibe coding. No Code is the sweetspot: speed, learning curve and control.
Goals, not time: time spent is irrelevant, created value is what matters. Parkinson’s Law.
Avoid bottlenecks: create T-Shaped people. Specialists create bottlenecks. Leade people into not needing you.
Document issues: create your own Stack Overflow. Write summaries. CTRL+F is underrated.
Use meetings wisely: most can be replaced by writing, but some unlock creativity.
ASAP is toxic: true urgency is rare. Teach people by not feeding “ASAP”.

Development base skills and principles I excel at.

Architecture design, team culture and good practices, code quality, testing, performance, SOLID, refactoring, mentoring and coaching.

Product-driven mindset, lean and agile practices (I’ve worked with Scrum for many years), prioritization by value, KPI/OKRs.

Tools and Technologies that I’ve used.

Ruby (On Rails, Sinatra), C#, Node.js (Express), PHP (Laravel), Java (Spring Boot). PostgreSQL, MySQL. REST APIs, Swagger. Docker.

React, Vue, AngularJS. Vite, NextJS, NuxtJS. Prismic, Wordpress, Hugo, Jekyll. Performance optimization, testing (Jest, Cypress).

AWS (managed and serverless), Vercel. Github Actions, Gitlab CI/CD. Security & monitoring.

No Code tools (Zappier, n8n, carrd), SEO (g4a, screamingfrog, console tools), CRM integrations (Clientify, Hubspot), web performance…
