Hi! I'm Pablo, also known as xhiena and I don't like the standard "I'm a software engineer with 20 years of experience…" type of presentations… when I met new people usually the topics go: me, job, hobbies,… and if something clicks we expand… so…

Me!

I am a person, father, Spanish, from Valencia. Lived in Amsterdam for 10 years, now back to Spain. Sharing my wife and son with 2 cats (she is the Alpha-cat, I'm one of the clowder).

Job!

I work as Technology Leader for Expereo, what I really do is meet with a lot of people trying to understand the real problem or need of what is needed to be develop and guide the developers on how we can fix it or improve it (sometimes, I have really good ideas).

Also, I try to keep my devs sane and help with planning and strategy... You can see more of my work life in linkedin.

After being developing web applications & integrations for more than 10 years, I made the step up to a managing position, and then went back to the real action, still happy with that decision. I'm interested in development, SaaS, the internet of things, automation, improving processes and implementations... but my main focus now is learn more (it's never enough) about team dynamics, leadership and project management.

In Between job and Hobby is being speaker in meetups and conferences. In the Techsummit Europe 2023 I did a talk about automation, and since them in some meet ups talking about software developemnt and it's challenges

Hobbies!

I like to build things, metal models, Lego sets, puzzles,… I also like to play videogames, but now I'm more of a casual player (small kid, you know...). I am re-discovering a new way of playing: couch co-op with my girlfriend. Sometimes it's challenging, the puzzles are also outside the game :p

I like games like Assassins creed, Lara croft, God of war, Zelda's, Lego's,… a combination of puzzles and action.

I try to keep up with movies and TV-series, manage automations of my house in Home assistant… but time is a scarce resource. Since I'm father all my free time usually goes playing with my son (not complaining)

In a sentence: Sofware engineer by day, father/tinkerer by evenings, bad sleeper at night, techy all the time.
