A hand-me-down ASUS
At eight I inherited my sister's laptop and discovered the internet. Scripts and simple Unity games in C# followed, out of pure curiosity.
Volmer
Software developer trained at 42 Madrid. I build custom websites and apps at Volmer Studio and embedded software at PROETI, for materials testing machines. And, for fun, everything that fits in this notebook: a Unix shell, an IRC server, a 3D engine.
Client work lives at Volmer Studio, which is a different site. This one is what I build on my own and what I learned at 42. See my professional work ↗
From a hand-me-down ASUS to today: work, training and what I have shipped, in order.

CIFP A Carballeira – Marcos Valcárcel
Building, repairing and networking computers. The hardware and networking groundwork before writing a single line of C.
Behind the bar
Serving all kinds of people, holding up through a packed service and fixing things on the fly. That is where I decided to go back to studying, and I bring the same care for clients to every project today.
Fundación Telefónica
I pass the pool —a month of C with no teachers— and start the cursus: C, C++, Unix, networking and containers, learning from peers at the world's 3rd most innovative university according to the WURI ranking.
Volmer Tech
Websites and maintenance for real businesses —psychology, hospitality, tourism, startups— while still at 42. Several of them still work with me.
My first published app, built with Flutter: clean up your phone gallery by swiping photos. Over 1,000 downloads and real users.
I wrap up the intensive training with projects such as Minishell, Cub3D, ft_irc and Inception, all graded by hand by other students.
PROETI · materials testing machines
The control system of materials testing machines (compression, tension, CBR): the microcontroller firmware, the C service that drives the machine on embedded ARM Linux, and the machine interface. 42-style low-level work, every day.
Custom websites and apps
Volmer Tech becomes Volmer Studio: custom websites and apps for businesses, 14 five-star Google reviews and a dedicated portal where each client follows their project, invoices and support.
Cybersecurity pool: CTF challenges, steganography, cryptography, web exploitation and forensics.
CTF · Forensics · Crypto
An IRC server that works with real clients like irssi. Non-blocking sockets and I/O multiplexing.
C++ · Sockets · IRC
A hand-configured Docker container cluster: Nginx, WordPress and MariaDB, no prebuilt images.
Docker · Nginx · MariaDB
Ten intensive C++ modules. From the basics of object orientation up to templates and STL containers.
C++ · OOP · STL
