Hi, I'm Edu. I'm a polyglot generalist who's been making things on the web since the 56k modem era.
It started with a hosting company
My father ran a web hosting company during the first internet boom, which meant two things: there was always a computer in the house, and the internet felt less like a mystery and more like the family trade. I started building my own websites as a kid, then desktop apps in Visual Basic 6, and fell completely in love with making software.
I grew up on Menorca, a small Balearic island, where I studied computer systems and was already freelancing small web gigs before I finished school. Then I moved to Barcelona for Computer Science and landed my first serious agency job at The George — where I got to build Microsoft's Windows 10 campaign site for Italy and the website for the Monza F1 circuit.
Independent since 2017
In 2017 I went independent for good, joining Toptal's network. I spent the first year working from cafés and co-working spaces across Southeast Asia — a full year of nomading while shipping weekly for clients like MailCharts.
Since then: 25+ engagements, and two of the startups I partnered with long-term were acquired — TrueLark by Weave for $35M, and MailCharts by Validity. Along the way my stack kept evolving: WordPress and PHP into TypeScript, Bun, Laravel, and Rust.
These days I live in Andorra, up in the Pyrenees, and work as an AI forward-deployed engineer: embedded directly with a client, taking frontier models and building production-ready workflows around them under real operational constraints. The latest is EventIntel, an AI-powered travel platform I architected solo — tool-calling agents, eval harnesses with rubric judges, and full tracing, all shipped to real users.
A few true things about me
- I'm obsessive about my tools. I run a tiling window manager, patch my own terminal multiplexer, and maintain tmux-palette (390+ GitHub stars) — mostly because I physically can't leave friction alone.
- I'm a gym rat. Lifting is the counterweight to a life spent making computers do things.
- I've taught, too: a course at Harbour.Space University on choosing the right technology at every stage of a startup — MVP, growth, and scale.
