How I can usually help.
I have all sorts of activities that I enjoy doing wholeheartedly to make developer lives go more smoothly. Let me know if you'd like to talk about any of them:

Team Coaching
I get your junior developers started on a technology or methodology heavily used in your team with a series of workshops. Examples include:
- Designing and building Web APIs
- Rails and Ruby workshops
- Test-Driven Development
- Git and GitHub workflows
Always tailored to your application and team flows.
How it works:
- Get to know call and potentially project commitment if there’s a match
- First part payment
- Tech-call to adjust a workshop to your needs
- Workshop proposal
- Payment
- Workshop dates
- Delivery
- Final payment
Individual Coaching
I've helped numerous entrepreneurs to get rolling with programming in their own projects and I also helped getting juniors into a career as a web developer:
How it works:
- You explain your situation and motivation in detail (in writing)
- Get to know call and potentially commitment if there’s a match
- High-level plan and collaboration proposal
- Decision
- Payment
- Detailed plan proposal
- Regular catch-ups and intermittent support to boost your progress
Writing
I write more and less technical articles and tutorials about coding, team processes, and the tech industry, including unique hand-crafted visuals.

Conditions
- The minimum cost is 500 € (high quality 800 - 1500 words about a topic I’m familiar with, minimum visuals)
- No ghost blogging
Events
I was the organizer of coding and tech events in Barcelona:
We can organize (recurring) events around your favorite topic. I can bring you in front of a local/remote Ruby on Rails bootcamp and user-group audience in Barcelona/worldwide, either with recurring or punctual events. I have access to small and big venues and I'm in contact with other collaborators who can make those events bigger.
Coding Micro-Projects
I’m currently only available for small encapsulated software projects. Examples can be:
- consultation and creation of a content or web presence page
- code snippets and small API integrations to extend your no-code website’s functionality
I can connect you with the great agencies and freelancers for bigger projects in these areas:
- Platforms and apps (Ruby and Rails type of projects)
- Data-driven Python projects
- Amazingly-designed websites and NFT (Webflow)
- SEO and digital marketing sites
How it works:
- Get to know call and potentially project commitment if there’s a match
- Solution proposal
- Decision
- First part payment
- Iterative delivery
- Final payment
