About me

Hi! My name is Alex Villapalos. Based in Madrid, I studied a degree in Computer Engineering at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I build webs and whatever I can imagine. 10+ years working as Software Engineer in companies like Kado Networks, Destinia or Indra, leading teams without stop programming, with the focus always put on the business.

I’m passionate making ideas happen and creating solutions, passing across all the business steps, from DevOps, Backend, Frontend… development, up to treat with client directly to know the needs in order to learn and improve the product.  Comerciame emerged from this passion.

Expert in React, Next.js, Vue.js and Nuxt.js with TypeScript, I’ve also worked with Node.js, Golang, Python, PHP, but I adapt effectively to other language/framework/whatever.
