Profile
I run solution engineering and integration engineering for Southern Europe at PayPal, across Spain, France and Italy. My team works with the largest merchants in the region — travel, marketplaces, retail, transport and regulated gaming.
The job is incremental revenue on large accounts. Finding the conversion, integration or product gap that is quietly costing a merchant money, sizing it with data, building the internal case, then driving product, engineering, identity and risk until the fix ships.
Some of it is deep technical work: tearing down checkout paths by device, hunting latency, instrumenting detection so the same problem does not come back twice. Some of it is convincing a room that has other priorities. I came to it from engineering, not from sales.
Experience
Head of Solution Engineering, Southern Europe
March 2025 — presentI own both solution engineering and integration engineering for the region, with a team spread across Spain, France and Italy and an outsourced partner covering smaller merchants.
The work is escalations, product asks, feature requests, internal unblocking, alignment and testing — plus the reporting layer underneath it, which I rebuilt on our internal data warehouse with LLM-assisted analysis instead of manual pulls.
Head of Integration Engineering
January 2023 — March 2025The integration half of what I run today, before solution engineering was added to it. Set the integration KPIs and drove the process work to cut time-to-integration.
Senior Solutions Engineer, then Solutions Engineer
June 2020 — January 2023End-to-end payment solutions for European enterprise merchants, and the technical reference on PSD2/SCA, pay-ins and pay-outs — from C-level conversations down to the development teams doing the integration.
A Spanish buy-now-pay-later fintech, later acquired by Afterpay and folded into Clearpay.
I led the engineering team responsible for merchant integration with the payment gateway, and owned the process end to end — including the onboarding and technical support functions alongside it, and the internal tooling behind the whole thing.
One of the largest casino software platforms in Europe.
I was the architect and author of Alea Play, a third-party games aggregator serving thousands of concurrent users across eight integrated platforms, and led every third-party integration the company had: payments, games, SMS.
