Welcome to my little internet space
Thanks for visiting! I've been a Tesla Engineer, a two time failed-startup founder, content creator, full stack freelancer. I created this page to share my learnings, technical and non-technical with others in hopes it helps somebody.

Hey, I'm Daniel
An Industrial Engineer from Madrid turned full stack developer and indie hacker. I write here about what I learn along the way: code, business, and everything in between.
My journey

I was born in Madrid, Spain. I spent my childhood experimenting with electronics and building things on my own.
I picked up code when I was 14. My teachers would grab me out of class to fix the school's computers.
I studied an engineering degree and two masters degrees in Madrid and a year in Philadelphia, USA; while doing many code and electronic projects on the side.
It was during this time that I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur.
I started working as a Quality Intern at Correos (the Spanish postal service) and quickly became the go-to person for data analysis and automation.
I was the first person in the department who knew how to code and automate data analysis tasks.

I started working as a Quality Engineer at Tesla, I worked in Norway, France, Germany, United Arab Emirates and Spain.
My main job was to analyze service and factory data and fix the top issues the European fleet was having.
I left Tesla in May in a bet to start entrepreneurship.
I spent the next 7 months learning full stack development (Django + React) as well as deployments with Docker.
I co-founded an email productivity startup with a friend I met the past year. It was starting to gain traction when disputes between us started happening. In the end I decided it was best for us to part ways.
I then worked a couple of months for Placeholder, a Canada/US based real estate startup.

Decided to start again, solo-founded estavia.ai, a real estate lead automation tool for the Spanish market.
In December, after 3 months of hard marketing, cold calls and networking, I decided to stop putting all my time into it. It's still running and being maintained for a few real estate agencies.
While I do software consulting I keep trying new stuff to see what I enjoy doing.
One of those crazy ideas was starting a YouTube channel about enthusiast cars.
I take a few freelance clients each month.
I mainly build software tools, web apps, automations, AI integrations, websites and data dashboards on Grafana.
