About LorryDriveloper

I'm a 42-year-old Spaniard who moved to the UK in 2015 as a lorry driver, but I'm now returning to my country to be closer to family. I quit a well-paying, stable job to follow my childhood dream of becoming a developer, graduating from Flatiron School and transforming my passion into a career. I love to talk about code, pair programming, and continuous learning.

As a professional driver, I drove almost every type of vehicle on the road and travelled to all EU countries on the continent at least once. I covered enough kilometers to circle the world several times over. My journey has given me a unique perspective, resilience, and a deep appreciation for teamwork—qualities that can't be taught. I thrive in supportive, collaborative environments where I can bring my logical mindset, curiosity, and drive to solve real-world problems.

My Expertise

  • Ruby on Rails full-stack development
  • Frontend development & CSS mastery
  • Real-world logistics experience
  • Problem-solving & efficiency focus

Current Role

Over the past year, I have played a leading role in driving technical innovation and business value at Gocertify, co-leading major architectural projects and helping our small team deliver features that make a tangible impact for clients.

I am always eager to contribute to a team where passion, learning, and shared success are valued.
