Explore my profileHello, I'm Adrián Salas.
Based in the Málaga area, I work at the intersection of software engineering and product thinking. With over X years of experience, I've contributed to projects ranging from early-stage startups to large-scale systems.
I care deeply about code quality, developer experience, and the human side of technology. When I'm not writing code, you'll find me behind a camera or exploring the outdoors.

DevOps practicesWhat I love.
Street and landscape photography. I see the world through light and shadow.
Swimming, cycling, and running. Training for and competing in triathlons keeps me disciplined and focused.
Sci-fi, essays, and anything about the philosophy of technology.
Listening to music helps me focus and stay productive. A great playlist makes any task better.
Slow travel with a focus on local culture, food, and architecture.
Home automation, electronics, and building things with my hands.
Spending time with my kids and wife. They give me the energy and strength to face any challenge.
At least once a month, a day trip hiking with an enthusiastic team I'm proud to belong to.
