About Hector

CTO and Solutions Architect with over 15 years of experience scaling platforms in e-commerce and telecommunications. I have led the technical area of companies like Funidelia and Pepephone, taking critical migrations to production, integrating generative AI into catalog search engines (Vertex AI), and designing cloud architectures that needed to be up and running by Monday at 9 AM.

I work directly with CEOs, founders, and technical directors who need real seniority without the overhead of a consultancy. The proposal is simple: the same technical level you would pay a Big4, without the key account management, without the intermediate levels, without the process cost.

My five areas of work:

— Fractional CTO: technical leadership 1-3 days/week for scale-ups, SMEs with digital products, and companies in CTO transition.

— Solutions Architecture: cloud design (GCP specialist) and on-prem, ADRs by decision, 3-year cost models, phased migration plans.

— AI Consulting: productive RAG, agents, fine-tuning, Vertex AI. Real productive cases, not endless PoCs. Official GenAI Leader certification by Google Cloud.

— Cybersecurity: security posture, threat modeling, security audit with offensive pentesting. Currently pursuing OSCP+ certification and active collaboration with Bullsec consultancy.

— Custom Development: tangible integrations on existing infrastructure (ERP, Shopify, automation), typical delivery in 2-4 weeks.

I work remotely for companies throughout Spain. Available for occasional in-person sessions from Zaragoza. Languages: Spanish, English.

Always under NDA. First diagnostic meeting at no cost. If we are a good fit, a concrete proposal and timeline within a week. If not, I will recommend someone who is.

    Zaragoza, Spain
    Cost and Efficiency Strategy: I transformed the infrastructure into an elastic and profitable model. I achieved decoupling growth from spending: in 2019, we increased revenue by +29% while reducing IT costs by -11%. During the COVID crisis, I replicated this elasticity by reducing the infrastructure bill by 40% in parallel with the sales drop, protecting the company's cash flow. Scalability and Resilience: I redesigned the architecture to support peaks of >3,000 concurrent users (Halloween/Carnival Campaign), eliminating past recurring outages and guaranteeing 99.9% uptime during critical sales days. Proactive Cybersecurity: I led the defense against massive DDoS attacks and detected/neutralized a critical intrusion during the Halloween campaign before data exfiltration occurred, safeguarding the brand's reputation and GDPR compliance. Cultural Transformation: I restructured the technical department (up to 11 people), breaking down silos between development, data, and infrastructure. I implemented a transversal DevSecOps culture that increased team autonomy and incident resolution speed.
