👋 Hi folks

I'm Iván (he/him/his), pronounced ee-bahn. I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Engineering Lead passionate about building impactful digital products and mentoring engineers. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve focused mostly on backend work, while also going deep on frontend, DevOps, mobile, and UI/UX when it helped ship better, more product-shaped solutions.

These days I lead distributed teams, shape engineering strategy, and work on system architecture. On the side, I’m building Avenida — a passion project with former colleagues I genuinely love working with, on a product I truly believe in. I’ve also been distilling years of experience into my Engineering Leadership Playbook: a practical, always-evolving operating system for healthy, high-performing engineering teams. It’s where I capture how I think about team operations, growth, delivery, and culture — with templates and patterns meant to be used, not just filed away.

I also mentor on MentorCruise, helping engineers grow in software development, leadership, and career progression. In the community, I founded Elixir Asturias, co-organize FabadaConf, and speak regularly about diversity, equity, inclusion, and mental health in tech — causes I support through mentoring, talks, and ongoing community work.

Outside of code, you’ll likely find me playing guitar or behind a camera. I also love sharing what I learn at conferences, meetups, and other tech events.

Want to chat? Drop me an email, connect on LinkedIn, or book a mentorship session — I'd love to hear from you.
