About me
I build software the way it should be built
I'm Mike, a software developer based in Spain. Behind l00per is me: I work with individuals and small businesses that need custom software they can actually rely on.
Mission
Most software is bought off the shelf — generic platforms you have to bend your way of working around. I exist for when that doesn't fit: when you need something built for you, not for everyone.
My job is to build that software properly, and then stay long enough to make sure it keeps serving you. The name says it: l00per is a loop. Good software isn't shipped once and abandoned — it improves with every turn. Today l00per is me; tomorrow I want it to be something bigger.
How I work
You talk to me, start to finish
No middlemen translating what you need. The person who designs your product is the one who builds it.
I treat every project as an engineering problem first. Before a line of code, I want to understand your real constraints — not the ones on a slide. Then I design for them, build in short cycles you can see, and leave you with software your own team, or you, can pick up and maintain.
That way of working is why the code holds up. Things I wrote years ago are still running and still growing, because they were built for it.
What I stand for
Five values, no slogans
Quality
I'd rather ship one thing properly than three that need apologies.
Simplicity
The best solution is the smallest one that holds. I design out complexity before I add it.
Transparency
Honest estimates, visible progress, and decisions explained in plain language.
Closeness
You work directly with me. I reply, I decide with you, and I hide nothing behind a process.
Reliability
Software that's still standing when you're not looking: tested, monitored and built to fail gracefully.
Technical expertise
Where my experience runs deepest
A focused stack I know cold, rather than a logo wall of everything.
Backend and architecture
PHP with Laravel, Symfony and Slim, applying DDD, CQRS and event-driven design.
Cross-platform
Web and mobile from a shared base: Vue, Nuxt and Angular on the front, Flutter on mobile.
Cloud and DevOps
Containerised delivery with Docker and Kubernetes on AWS, with automated deployments.
AI in development
LLM-based agents and workflows to build faster and with better quality.
