I help software teams ship — and I write stories about why they don’t.

I’ve been building and rescuing software since 1986. These days I also turn what I’ve lived through into fiction: serialized novelas about delivery, power, and the people caught in the middle. Same mind, two ways of telling the truth.

Stories & Novelas

Fiction drawn from real delivery

Serialized telenovelas where software dysfunction plays out as drama, betrayal, and romance. Signal Through Noise, The Last Batch, Código del Destino, and the fintech novel La Startup.

Software & Delivery

A senior who makes teams ship

Hire me as the senior who embeds in your team and makes it ship. Decades of delivery scars, working across management, developers, and operations.

Field Notes

The same mind, off duty

Life beyond the keyboard: a working farmstead in Andalucía, horses, and travel across the places I’ve called home. Flying light aircraft shaped how I think — and still talk — about risk and judgment.

I build and rescue software, and I write fiction about the human side of how it gets made. Here you’ll find my stories and novelas, notes on craft, and field notes from a life lived across several worlds.

Working with software teams is what I do professionally — see how on caimito.net. You can also read about my experience since 1986.
