Hi, Pablo here
Welcome to my website. Here I discuss thoughts and ideas. This is mostly professional.
What you'll find here:
About me
A few facts you might care about:
- I'm based in Barcelona, although I'm happy working for anyone located anywhere (as long as we can find a time to meet).
- My career has focused in Data teams and positions, playing roles such as Data Lead, Data Engineer or Data Science Researcher. I've also tinkered quite a bit with many areas and technologies outside of data, but not in professional, production-grade settings.
-
Having said that, I have a lot of weird interests that might mix
somehow, including:
- Austrian economics and its societal and political implications
- Bitcoin
- P2P and privacy friendly applications
- Self-hosting and lowering the cost of people using advanced IT on a personal level
- Riding motorcycles
- BBQ-ing
- Being annoyingly contrarian
- 3D printing maps
- Teaching
- Film photography
- Tinkering with bicycles
- Calisthenics

If you are looking for my CV, no need to reach out, you can fetch it yourself here.
Good reasons to reach out include:
- You want to work with me.
- Some of my interests, projects or writings caught your attention and you want to discuss them with me.

Bad reasons to reach out include:
- You want to sell something to me, and you mostly care about selling that thing to me, not me loving the thing.
- You don't like something posted here and want to let me know your feelings.
My projects
Some of the projects I've shared publicly:
- My Python package to handle Spanish DNIs better
- Barcelona Bitcoin Only, a local Bitcoin meetup and community I've helped organize and run
There are also some other projects that I generally keep private but might disclose under the right circumstances. Some notable hints:
- That one time I made a lot of money doing something everyone said was stupid
- Some work around helping people ignore EU regulations around exchanging Bitcoin and Fiat
