About Alex

I collaborate with companies that have slow databases, Linux servers

If your system depends on SQL, Linux, or legacy code, the problem usually isn't in a single place.

It's typically a combination of poorly optimized queries, misconfigurations, and accumulated technical debt. That's where I come in.

I specialize in:
● Relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server)
● Linux servers (LAMP, Nginx, backend environments)
● Legacy software in PHP, Python, and Bash

I identify real problems in production systems: slow queries, bottlenecks, inefficient configurations, or hard-to-maintain code.
I perform technical audits, performance optimizations, and controlled migrations without jeopardizing the business.

✔ Faster systems
✔ Fewer incidents
✔ More stable architectures
✔ Fewer complaints from your client departments

I don't deal in theory. I work on live systems, with direct business impact, without halting any of your company's activities.

If your platform starts failing or doesn't scale, I can help you stabilize it and improve its performance.

Write to me and let's review your case.

I can analyze your system and tell you where the problem lies.

    March 2024 - Today (2 years and 5 months)
    Barcelona, Spain
    I focus on relational databases and developing/automating/creating APIs/scripts/programming, stabilizing and optimizing platforms, data migrations, and problem-solving...

    I am a decisive person who resolves incidents by knowing how to detect them at both the code and database levels.

    Errors, bottlenecks, optimization of the entire application lifecycle... from when the user clicks until it reaches the database and is displayed back to the user.

    I usually work with MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, but as companies have everything, I deal with any relational or NoSQL database that comes my way.

    Anything related to data and databases, SQL development, optimizations, backups, data loading, ETLs, data cleaning, data visualization dashboards, I can handle it.

    I develop with PHP (Laravel, CodeIgniter) / Python (Django, Flask) / Bash / SQL / JavaScript / jQuery / HTML / CSS, and as there's a bit of everything here, I've also worked on satellite applications in other languages like Ruby, C#, ASP.NET, VB, React, Vue...

    I work or have worked as DevOps with on-premise servers, Apache, Nginx, IIS without problems, as well as log management and process monitoring.

    And what about cloud, I currently work with AWS but have worked with Azure, Google Cloud... especially in Linux environments, although I'm also quite proficient with Windows.
