About Me
Get to know more about me and my journey
Hey, I'm Marc! 👋
I'm an AI Platform Engineer based in Barcelona with 7+ years across cloud infrastructure, agentic AI systems, and cost optimization. I work where platform engineering meets applied AI — building the infrastructure that runs LLM workloads and the products on top of it.
At Trading Technologies (following OpenGamma's acquisition) I lead FinOps and AI adoption across a large AWS organization, shipping MCP-integrated tooling and autonomous agents on AWS Bedrock. On the side I run Bresca, an AI & software studio, and keep building products end to end — from reservations platforms to native iOS apps.
My Journey
From a computer-engineering degree to leading FinOps and AI platform work across a global trading organization — with a steady stream of products shipped along the way.
The Beginning
Started my coding journey with a passion for solving real problems.
Professional Growth
Worked as a CloudOps and DevOps Engineer, gaining experience in cloud architecture and deployment.
First Project: CanITravelTo
Launched my first public project during the pandemic to help people navigate travel restrictions.
The AI Revolution
Embraced AI tools to accelerate development and enhance productivity.
AI Platform & Bresca
Leading FinOps and AI adoption at Trading Technologies — agentic systems on Bedrock — while building products through my studio, Bresca.

Fun Facts
My mini-schnauzer Chop is often my coding buddy. He has strong opinions about my code.
I'm based in Barcelona, but love to travel and work from different cities when possible.
I once built a simple website that unexpectedly got featured on a tech blog, bringing in hundreds of visitors overnight.
I'm a Formula One enthusiast and had the amazing experience of attending the Barcelona Grand Prix!
