I'm Pablo — I build distributed systems by day and spend the rest of my time hunting down great coffee, exploring new corners of the world, and photographing what I find.
This is where I write about what I'm learning: mostly software engineering, but also the books I'm reading, places I've been, and ideas I can't stop thinking about.
As a kid, I loved tinkering with computers and surfing the web. I spent quite a lot of time building websites for my hobbies in the early days of the Web 2.0 and assembling personal computers from scratch.
All these passions led me to pursue an education in something related to computers. I ended up studying a BSC in Computer Science at the University of Santiago and later on a MSC in Networks & Distributed Systems at Trinity College, Dublin.
After countless hours studying, I realized how lucky I was — I genuinely loved it, and what I was learning let me build real things from scratch, starting with just an idea.
As of 2026, I am based in sunny Barcelona, Spain where I enjoy spending time reading in specialty coffee shops, exploring the world for both work and fun, playing and watching sports (I am a big snowboarding and cycling fan), and building things on the internet.
I work as Tech Principal Consultant at Thoughtworks, where I lead high-performing software teams building decentralized data systems and engineering platforms — helping our clients scale their systems and ship better software. Check out some of my work experience.
Feel free to reach out — whether to work on something together or just to say hi. You can find me on LinkedIn, GitHub, or Instagram.
