Experience

CTO

Estimtrack

Technical lead. In charge of DB, BackEnd and FrontEnt.

One of the main accomplishments I did: I redesigned the whole system so that instead of 19 apps for each hospital, we would only need 6.

Estimtrack is a catalan startup that spun off Hospital Clínic that optimizes patient flow in hospitals. The main process is the coordination of patients that go to the operating rooms.Considering that OR time is extremely expensive, it's crutial to optimize it. In addition, we offer a virtual waiting room, so that relatives are informed of the whereabouts of their patient.

At the time of this writing: Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Hospital de Sant Pau, Hospital d'Igualada and Hospital De Mollet have it.

  • With an impact of 100 patients per day
  • 200 - 300 happier relatives per day that are not left unattended
  • 350 000 Auxilary staff tasks since 2016. Which translate to 350 000 avoided phone calls.

Interests

Apart from being a full stack developer, I enjoy most of my time making bbq's and socializing. In the winter, I am an avid skier when there is no COVID. During the warmer months, I try to find an excuse every weekend to grill some delicious meat.

I am a big fan of Elon Musk. I try to follow all the Rocket Launches.
