/>My students leave able to build and ship real software — not just to pass the exam. That is the standard I hold every project to.
You will work the way professionals work. We use agile methods, you ship to production, and you get honest feedback early and often. The goal is simple: by the time you graduate, the habits are already yours.
What you can expect.
- Projects that look like real work, not exercises.
- Teaching built on how people actually learn, so the ideas stick.
- Clear scope and steady delivery, so you always know where you stand.
The background behind that.
Engineering. Combined Bachelor’s + Master’s in Computer Engineering — FIB · UPC BarcelonaTech, 2007. The old 6-year Enginyeria Informàtica, now mapped to EQF 7 · MECES 3 · 375 ECTS. I have built real systems, so I can teach you to build them too.
Psychology. Combined Bachelor’s + Master’s in Psychology — Universitat de Barcelona, 2000. The old 5-year Llicenciatura en Psicologia, EQF 7 · MECES 3 · 300 ECTS. I know how people learn and build mental models, so I design lessons that make the ideas stick.
Management. Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Management — UNED, 2000 (MECES 2 · 120 ECTS). I scope, plan and run projects, so the work you ship stays on track and reaches production.
Teaching. IT teacher since 2021, tenured civil servant in the Catalan public-school system (Secondary and Vocational Education Teaching Corps, Departament d’Educació, Generalitat de Catalunya). I supervise final projects with agile methods and one clear focus: you pick up real ship-to-production habits before you graduate.
