Services

Agile Project Management

An iterative approach applied first for software development, focusing on frequent value delivery and fast feedback turnaround to adapt to emerging changes quickly

Project coaching

Do you need help to scale Agile practices across a team or organization, to align teams or organizations with Agile values and concepts?

Software development

Do you need a boost for conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components?

Design thinking

Design thinking refers to the set of cognitive, strategic and practical procedures used by designers in the process of designing, and to the body of knowledge that has been developed about how people reason when engaging with design problems.

Digital transformation

Digital transformation is the adoption of digital technology by an organization to digitize non-digital products, services or operations. The goal for its implementation is to increase value through innovation, invention, customer experience or efficiency.

Innovation, motivation & growth

“Innovation is taking two things that exist and putting them together in a new way.“

About

For more than five years, Iván has prepared himself to boost his clients’ projects with a human-centered methodology based on one motto: “A happy engineer is a productive engineer”.

With a heavy on-hands experience as Full Stack Engineer, Iván pivoted his career into a management position driven by the fact that best delivery teams synchronize the technical level with human beings.
