About Me

I'm a Senior Sales Engineer with over 20 years of experience in technology and telecommunications, currently focused on the DACH market at Actian. But I'm so much more than my professional title...

Professional

Bridging solution architecture with technical sales, I help enterprise customers turn complex data and integration needs into scalable SaaS solutions.

Personal

A devoted family man living in beautiful Palma de Mallorca with my wife and our 4 beloved cats. We love exploring the world together and creating memories.

Creative

When I'm not closing deals, you'll find me behind a drum kit or DJ decks, creating rhythms and curating experiences through music.

My Journey Across the World

From Argentina to Spain, through Germany - each place shaped who I am today

🇦🇷

Buenos Aires & Neuquén

Argentina - Where It All Began

Born and raised in the vibrant culture of Argentina, where I learned the value of passion, family, and living life to the fullest. From the bustling streets of Buenos Aires to the stunning landscapes of Neuquén, these places instilled in me a love for diversity and adventure.

🇩🇪

Munich

Germany - Growth & Innovation

Munich became my home and the place where my career truly flourished. The German approach to precision, innovation, and work-life balance deeply influenced my professional philosophy. Here I developed my fluency in German and built lasting relationships in the DACH market.

🇪🇸

Palma de Mallorca

Spain - Home Sweet Home

The beautiful island of Mallorca is where I've found the perfect balance between career and quality of life. With its Mediterranean lifestyle, stunning beaches, and vibrant culture, this is where my family and I have built our life, surrounded by sunshine, great food, and our four beloved cats.

My Passions

Life is about balance - here's what keeps me energized outside of work

Music: Drummer & DJ

Music is my therapy and creative outlet. Whether I'm behind a drum kit laying down rhythms or DJing at events, music allows me to express myself in ways words cannot.

Sports & Fitness

Staying active is essential to my well-being. I'm passionate about gym training, snowboarding for the adrenaline rush, and padel tennis for the social competition.

My Musical Journey

Rhythms, beats, and melodies that fuel my soul - from drumming to DJing

Music has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether I'm behind a drum kit creating rhythms, or spinning tracks as a DJ, music allows me to express myself in ways words cannot.
