Zürich, Switzerland
Two sides, same person.
Engineer by logic. Outdoorsman by nature.
I'm Ignacio, a mechanical engineer currently working at Eurofighter in Munich, but based in Zürich. I build tools that make work easier, spend weekends in the mountains, and believe the best conversations happen over a beer. This site is a mix of who I am professionally and what I care about outside of it.
Eurofighter GmbH · Munich · Current
Working on one of Europe's most complex defence programmes.
Kuotify · Spain
An energy efficiency consultancy. Profitable from launch.
Carpinterías Reunidas del Sur
Design work, plus automating the parts of the process nobody enjoyed doing by hand.
University of Seville · Erasmus at Hochschule Luzern
Where the Switzerland part of the story starts.
My work tends to sit at the intersection of engineering and problem-solving, whether that's coordinating supply chains for fighter jets, building automation tools that save hours of manual work, or helping businesses understand their energy costs.

Internal tool · In daily use
Built the first integrated supply chain visibility tool for my department at Eurofighter, replacing a manual process that had never been properly solved. Now used daily by the team.
Custom platform · Built with my co-founder
Currently building a fully custom CRM with my Kuotify co-founder: client management, invoicing, energy tariff comparisons, and direct integrations with our partners' platforms. All from one place, no switching tools. You can find below a previous app developed by me, built to upload data easily from our phones to our current CRM on Excel.
Built with AI tools
Built using AI tools. If you know how to use them properly and judiciously, it becomes one of the most useful tools you can have, both professionally and in everyday life. If a tool doesn't exist that does what I need, I build one.
I'm actively looking for my next role in Zürich, across engineering, project coordination, supply chain, or operations. I work best in environments where precision matters, problems are real, and ownership is expected. English working environment preferred.

Snowboarding, hiking, and recently started climbing. I'm drawn to anything that puts me in nature and pushes me to learn something new: new techniques, new limits, new places.
I've lived in Spain, Switzerland, Ireland and Germany, and try to keep moving. One of the best trips so far: Iceland during my Erasmus year, a campervan, impossible landscapes, and friends I still have today.
Watch the Iceland road trip video
I've been a scout mentor for years. It's taught me more about responsibility, risk management and improvisation than most professional experiences, because the people depending on you are kids, and you can't afford to get it wrong. I also genuinely love it.
On the fourth picture, you can see one of the projects I'm most proud of started exactly here: a portable sink unit I designed and built for the group as part of my engineering thesis. They've been using it on camps ever since.

I enjoy building small tools and automations for personal and professional use, mostly because if something is taking too long manually, I'd rather spend an hour making it faster permanently.
Work
After months of job searching online with limited results, I moved to Munich to live with family, learn German, and keep trying. One evening, out for beers with a new friend, Elena, who heard about my background and thought I might be a good fit for a position at Eurofighter. She was right. My dad has always said: real opportunities happen in the street, talking to people, with a beer in hand. Turns out he was right.
Travel
During my Erasmus year in Lucerne, a group of us drove across Iceland in a campervan. The kind of trip where the landscapes make you feel genuinely small, everything goes slightly wrong at some point, and you end up closer to the people you went with. I filmed and edited the whole thing, and you can watch it here.
