If your product, service and idea were born with the goal of improving the lives of others, then its success is guaranteed! Adding a well planned strategy, passion, creativity and hard work ensures its success. For me, Marketing is not a department in a company but an attitude and a passion that has filled my career with challenges and allowed me to launch companies and improve businesses.

Dad of two and science lover. I´m a life-long learner and I like to share learning with others. I believe security is a intrinsic quality of good software, from design to implementation, not only a patch at the end of a process. It´s a continuum set of tradeoffs that Bussiness and IT should make together. I began my career as a C++ developer and I have been working in IT Security for more than 10 years. My experience goes from threat monitoring in different SOC´s, AppSec consulting services and implementing process to automate security into the SDLC. I am a big fan of Baroque music and I also enjoy reading and writing SciFi stories. Sometimes I run to clear my mind.

Born and raised in the New York of La Mancha, Albacete. Java and Groovy codebasher by calling. Environmental activist out of necessity. Lover of homemade stews. Retired drummer. Basketball fan and cyclist. Half classic geek: loud heavy metal music, coffee, GNU/Linux and The X-Files. Half not-so-classic geek: I’m not into gadgets, nor do I play Pokemon GO and I don’t watch TV series. I prefer to be surrounded by nature and my dream is to live in a country house with a vegetable garden.

I started my career with a passion for analysing and solving problems in Java; and have applied this knowledge by working in a number of different business areas. In my free time I’ve also explored the world of Big Data and R, which I’m looking forward to applying to software security management. On a personal note, I’m an Asianophile and one of my personal goals is to become a decent Baduk player.

I’ve been coding Java for 7 years and in my spare time enjoy researching technologies like Android, Ruby, Amazon Web Services and tinkering with Arduinos. When I’m not immersed in technology, I love cooking traditional Spanish food and am a movie and TV series addict.

As a software developer, I have extensive experience in web and mobile applications, most of them in Java and Javascript. I worked in the banking sector, so I know how important software security is! In my spare time I enjoy tinkering with Lego Mindstorms, IoT and mentoring youngsters in these subjects. My next pet projects will be AI, especially Swarm Intelligence. In all honesty, i think I need another life to learn it all!

I am a dedicated office administrator to assist the directors and managers as well as deliver internal reporting, document editing and other office tasks. After studying Mathematics and Physics I spent several years living abroad and improved my language skills starting in USA, Austria, Germany and finally landed in Spain. In my previous life I have worked for a unique logistic provider as well as an HR manager. I was responsible for more than 350 employees, covering all HR tasks. Although numbers are my passion I enjoy working with great people, and Continuum Security’s team definitely is amazing! When not in front of the computer, I enjoy spending time in nature, especially in the garden with my fabulous pets.

A Java developer with QA/Automation super-powers. I’ve been working with Java my whole career but in my spare time I love trying new things with NodeJS and any other Javascript framework/libraries. The Security field has always intrigued me and the overlap between QA test automation and security automation is ripe for exploring. I’m also a proud father of 3 dogs and 3 cats who love sleeping around me while watching thousand of hours of movies or TVshows. I enjoy video games and can easily spend the whole weekend playing with friends from time to time.

I enjoy working in the full stack of a project, from the design to the implementation, including developing Back-end and Front-end and participating in technical decisions.
