Iván González Sáiz

Engineering Lead

👋 Hi folks

I'm Iván (he/him/his), pronounced ee-bahn. I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Engineering Lead with a passion for building impactful digital products and mentoring engineers. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve specialized in backend development while also diving into frontend, DevOps, mobile, and UI/UX to deliver holistic, product-oriented solutions.

These days I lead distributed teams, shape engineering strategy, and refine system architectures. 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 frequently speak about diversity, equity, inclusion, and mental health in tech, causes I advocate for through mentoring, talks, and ongoing engagement.

Outside of code, you’ll likely find me playing guitar or behind a camera, and I regularly share knowledge at conferences, meetups, and other tech events.

If you’d like to connect, email me at hi@dreamingecho.es, find me on LinkedIn, or book a mentorship session with me on MentorCruise.
