👋 Hey there! I'm Juanjo, a Backend Software Engineer with a focus on API development. My colleagues know me as someone committed to quality and attention to detail, my friends know me as a funny guy who knows good places to eat food. This blog tries to blend both sides of me.

¿Por qué he leído este libro? Poco antes de terminar 2025, alcancé la cifra de 14 libros leídos, de los cuales 4 eran de desarrollo de software. Casi todos se centraban en arquitectura y diseño de alto nivel, así que buscaba algo más práctico a la ho...
Repaso de las propiedades ACID en bases de datos y qué sistemas las implementan hoy en día.
La técnica que utilizan Cassandra y DynamoDB para rebalancear datos en sistemas distribuidos
Este teorema dice que un sistema distribuido solo puedes garantizar simultáneamente dos de estas tres propiedades: Consistency (consistencia) Availability (disponibilidad) Partition tolerance (tolerancia a particiones) ¿Pero qué significan estas...
Hoy vamos a hablar de algo un poco más amplio: los motores de bases de datos. A grandes rasgos, los podemos dividir en dos grandes categorías: OLTP (procesamiento de transacciones online): los que están optimizados para procesar transacciones. OLAP...
Hey there! I'm Juanjo, a 24-year-old software engineer who has been working for an insurtech company for the last 2 and a half years after graduating from university. Actual picture of me:
I come from a small city in Spain called Seville that is mostly known for our country’s famed traditions like flamenco and bullfighting. However, I personally enjoy my hometown for how welcoming our people are and its food (we've got some delicious tapas here ⬇️).
Food talks aside, as I navigate through the twists and turns of my career in the tech industry, I've decided to embark on a new adventure – starting this blog.
After graduating in Computer Engineering from the University of Seville in 2021, I was contacted by Joanna through LinkedIn for a spot in Coverwallet's Excellence Fellowship program (an internship program for students with high marks). Little did I know, the real challenges lay ahead as I stepped into the world of tech.
Reflecting on my journey, I realized there were gaps in my knowledge and experience that I hadn't anticipated. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted my last university years, leaving me struggling to find my footing in the job market. Due to the impact of the pandemic, I believe that I missed lots of opportunities to make connections and discuss with my colleagues how to continue with our careers as Software Engineers.
Now, with almost three years of industry experience under my belt, I've come to appreciate the importance of building a personal brand and sharing insights with fellow tech enthusiasts. I should have started this time ago, but I didn't even know this was a thing. Late to the party or not, I will give it a try!
This blog will be my tech playground, where I'll share everything from tech tutorials and book reviews to anecdotes about fixing the local flower shop's website. It's a work in progress, and I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery and growth.
Thank you for joining me on this new chapter 🫶. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, I hope you can take something from my experiences or even be inspired by them.
Feel free to contact me or send me a LinkedIn message anytime! 😉
