About Me

I see myself as someone who wants to live a meaningful life, doing what I enjoy while staying close to the people I care about.

I'm naturally curious and driven. Since I started programming, I've felt the need to understand how computers really work, from the ground up. I try to stay away from empty distractions and focus on doing things that feel valuable and fulfilling.

In the long term, I want to keep learning and working toward more freedom and independence. Since I was 16, I've joked about retiring at 30, but behind that joke, there's a real motivation to take control of my own path.

I consider myself a problem-solver. I'm not intimidated by new challenges, if a project genuinely interests me, I fully commit to understanding its technical complexities and finding effective solutions, drawing on the experience and intuition I've developed over the years.

I was born in Algemesí, Spain, on April 20, 2001. I completed my secondary education at Colegio Santa Ana in 2017 and earned my high school diploma at IES Bernat Guinovart in 2019, where I also started teaching myself programming, a passion that quickly became central to my life.

In 2020, I took a gap year to focus on self-learning, dedicating my time to online courses and personal projects, just as the global pandemic began.
During this period, I developed my first 3D game engine in C++, marking a major milestone in my journey as a developer.
I also joined the Handmade Hero community, which completely revolutionized my approach to problem-solving and significantly accelerated my growth as a programmer.

From 2020 to 2022, I completed a Vocational Training program in Multiplatform Application Development at IES Consuelo Aranda in Alberic.

In 2022, I started an internship at Cosmic Spell, contributing to the development of Soul Breach, and I worked with the team for three years.

Alongside my full-time job, I successfully shipped a complete game built in my own game engine and continue working on exciting personal projects to further deepen my knowledge of software development.

In 2020, while developing Silver Engine, I discovered the Handmade Hero series. This experience led me to move away from Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and adopt a more procedural approach, which allowed me to grow significantly as a programmer.
My perspective was deeply influenced by developers like Casey Muratori and Jonathan Blow, who have become key references for me.

I focus on fundamental programming principles and strive to write the simplest code possible. I firmly believe that SOLID principles and the "Clean Code" approach advocated by Robert C. Martin have, in many cases, done more harm than good. My philosophy is: No OOP, no UML, no garbage collectors, no interpreted languages—just simple, straightforward, reliable, and high-performance software.

Although I primarily work with C++, which is known for being object-oriented, I restrict myself to using only functions and data structures. This approach makes memory management and program flow more coherent and explicit.

Despite my skepticism about OOP, I have successfully adapted to the development style of Soul Breach, where we use C# and object-oriented programming.

In 2023, I developed an interest in electronics as a hobby and built a remote-controlled car.

I am currently working on building a drone:

Since I was 15, I've been passionate about calisthenics. I've always believed it's worth investing time every day to stay active and improve physical abilities.
I was also a member of a calisthenics club called Silver Barzz, a group of friends who traveled across Spain to connect with others who shared our passion for the sport.
