Hey, I'm Daniel
An Industrial Engineer turned full stack developer and Indie Hacker.
Quick facts about me
I started learning code when I was 14, specifically Python.
I spent 6 years studying an engineering degree and two masters degrees in Madrid while doing many code and electronic projects on the side.
I worked as a Quality Engineer at Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory for 3 years, but I was also building internal web app tools on the side.
I decided to become an entrepreneur after feeling bored at Tesla.
I've had 2 failed projects, one cofounder split, 5 consulting jobs and 1 successful business.
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 Spanishs 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 decided to become an entrepreneur after feeling bored at Tesla for a while. I knew it was now or never.
I started learning proper full stack development.
I abandoned a project of my own to build a startup with a cofounder, that went south...
Started doing some consulting for other startups and companies, mainly on AI automation and DevOps; and writing a lot of useful guides on stuff that I learned along the way (that's probably how you got here).
I'm now running 3 businesses, 1 of which has reached ~60K ARR, the other 2 are in initial stages as of the writing of this post.
