Valencia, SpainLead BA · Product Owner · Product ManagerApp developer

I design products for enterprise teams. And I build and ship my own.

Lead Business Analyst, Product Owner and Product Manager with 8+ years in telecom, fintech and e-commerce — solution design and backlogs at T-Systems and EPAM. On my own I research, build and run a driving-theory product for Spain and beyond: iOS and Android apps downloaded 18,000+ times, the dgtexam.es web platform, a theory book on Amazon and Aula, software for driving schools.

Two contexts, one method

Enterprise programmes and my own products

The craft is the same in both: understand the problem, make the trade-offs explicit, ship, measure. The difference is who signs off — a steering committee, or the App Store review team and my own users.

How I work

Most expensive mistakes start as a misunderstanding

My job is to find them before a line of code is written — and to keep finding them after release.

  1. Discover

    enterpriseStakeholder interviews, AS-IS mapping in BPMN, impact on neighbouring systems.

    own appsOfficial exam formats, competitor reviews, what learners actually search for.

  2. Specify

    enterpriseUser stories with acceptance criteria, API contracts, NFRs, Definition of Ready.

    own appsA spec per market: question bank structure, exam rules, localisation scope.

  3. Ship

    enterpriseRefinement cadence, cross-team release plans, change control and traceability.

    own appsSmall releases, App Store review, AI-assisted build and QA workflows.

  4. Measure

    enterpriseProduction incidents fed back into requirements and the enabler backlog.

    own appsInstalls, conversion, ratings and reviews drive the next iteration.

AI-native delivery

I use AI where it removes busywork, and keep the decisions human. In my own apps that means Claude Code and Cursor for building features, LLM pipelines for drafting and checking question-bank content and translations against each exam's rules, and generated test scenarios for release checks. In enterprise work: first drafts of specs, impact analysis across documentation, and meeting-to-backlog summaries — always reviewed before they reach the team.

Selected work

Problem, decision, result

Fintech · Open banking

An Open API banks offer to third parties

Problem. Banks wanted partner services inside their own digital banking without a bespoke integration per partner. Decision. One standard contract for every partner instead of point-to-point integrations.

Result. Led the requirements for the Open API — the contract partners and internal teams build against.

Payments · Modernisation

A payments system nobody had documented

Problem. The team could not change the payments APIs and internal portal safely: nobody knew how they really worked. Decision. Map the AS-IS landscape first, then redesign — no new features on top of unknowns.

Result. A documented landscape and a modernised API architecture the team could change without guesswork.

Own product · apps, web, book, B2B

Driving-theory prep in the learner's own language

Problem. Every country runs its theory exam differently, and newcomers fail it because of language, not driving. Decision. One content base and exam engine, reused across channels — apps, web, a printed book and software for driving schools — and localised per market.

Result. 7 apps live in 6 countries, 18,000+ downloads and a 4.7 rating in under a year; a web platform in 11 languages, a book on Amazon and a B2B product for driving schools.

Own product

One content base, four channels

The same question bank, theory and road-sign catalogue power the apps, the web platform, a printed book and a B2B tool — specified, built and run by me.
