Technology consultant · Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Understanding what you need, even if you're not clear on it yet, and shaping the technology around that.

I automate the manual processes that eat your team's hours: invoicing, delivery notes, work reports, coordination and customer service. Fifteen years doing it inside companies in the Canary Islands.

Three are real cases with figures from the client's own records. The rest are setups I build to order, drawn the way they work. No screen is a screenshot of anyone's system.

    Automatic invoice reading

    Invoices arrive by email, the system extracts the data and checks it against the order. The ones that match go to accounting; the ones that don't are checked by a person.

792 ha year back to that distributor's admin team. Almost five months of one full-time person.

From seventy-two hours a month to six.

Before72 h a month
Now6 h a month

About a thousand invoices a month, four minutes twenty seconds each on average, timed with a stopwatch over one week. The 792 hours are the difference multiplied by twelve.

What I do

Four ways we can work together.

Scope and price fixed before we start, and always on top of the systems you already run. You almost never need to replace the ERP.

Self-employed, or a team of four? There is a different way to work with me, by the session.

About me

From taking printers apart to running a company's technology.

I started in 2011 taking printers apart and fixing whatever broke. Then I coordinated projects, ran the technology of an entire company, and since 2024 I have worked on my own from Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

That is what sets me apart from an agency: I have sat on the other side of the table, budget in hand and a team waiting. I sit with the people who do the work, watch how they actually do it, and remove the steps that don't need to exist. For the first month after delivery I stay available, because that is when the odd cases show up.

I don't take every job. If your case isn't my thing I tell you on day one, and if I know someone who does it better I give you their name.

«Choosing him as our technology partner was an absolute success. Always with the best attitude and empathy.»

How we start

We start with a working session.

Three steps, and at each one you decide whether to continue. The first costs nothing. The second has a fee, deducted if we go on.

Fifteen minutes

We assess whether it can be fixed

Video or phone call. You tell me what gets done by hand and we come out with a clear idea of whether it is worth it, where to start and roughly what it would cost. If it isn't worth it, I tell you so and that's that.

Freeand no obligation
Working session

Ninety minutes looking at your case properly

We sit down with the process that hurts most and you leave with a document: what can be automated, with which technology, in what order and with what risks. It is useful even if someone else does the project.

With a feededucted from the project if we continue
Project

I build it, test it and leave it running

Four to twelve weeks depending on the processes and integrations. Scope and price fixed before we start, the odd cases planned for from day one, and a month of support after delivery.

Fixed pricebefore we start

Not ready to talk to anyone yet? Request the 10-minute X-ray: describe one of your processes in eight fields and I send you a written document within 48 working hours, free of charge. The form is in Spanish for now.

Book the fifteen minutes

Tell me what is eating your team's time.

Two or three lines are enough. I reply myself, within 24 hours, by email or WhatsApp.

I need to know your name.
I need a number to confirm the time.
Check the email, it looks incomplete.
For example: «three people copy invoices from email into the ERP by hand, about 400 a month». Tell me the case, even in one line.
When suits you

Tick as many as you like. I fix the exact time when I confirm.

Questions

Before you book.

Is the fifteen-minute call free?
Yes. It is only to assess whether a manual process can be fixed and roughly what it would cost. If it is worth continuing, I propose the working session. If not, I tell you so and that's that.
Why does the working session have a fee?
Because it is ninety minutes looking at your case properly and a written document you can use even if someone else does the project. What is given away doesn't get read; what is paid for does. And if we continue together, it is deducted from the project.
Do you come to the company?
In Tenerife, yes, with no obligation, when the process can't be understood over a video call. Some things you only see by watching how people work on a Tuesday morning. In the rest of the Canary Islands and Spain I work remotely and we plan on-site days when they are needed.
What size of company do you work with?
It depends less on size than it seems. What matters is that something repeats many times the same way. A six-person company with a thousand invoices a month is a better case than a fifty-person one with no repetitive processes.
How long does a project take?
The working session is ninety minutes and the document arrives within a week. A typical implementation takes four to twelve weeks depending on the processes and integrations, always with scope and price fixed before we start.
Do we need to replace our ERP or CRM?
Almost never. Most cases are solved by connecting and automating on top of the systems you have already paid for. Replacing a core system is the most expensive and slowest option, so it is usually the last thing I propose.
What happens with our data?
It is defined before we start: what data leaves the company, what never leaves, and which providers are used. For sensitive information, models can be hosted on your own infrastructure or on European servers.
Do you also build websites or run ad campaigns?
Yes, when they are part of the same plan. The website and the campaigns are the door your clients come in through, and the process behind them is what looks after them without anyone slipping through. What I don't do is a website on its own with nothing behind it: if that's all it is, I'll say so and give you a name.
