Summary
Hugo Gil is a hands-on Chief Technology Officer and seasoned software engineer with over 20 years of experience and 15 years leading tech in Barcelona startups. He blends deep application-level expertise—particularly in Ruby, Java, distributed systems, NoSQL, messaging (RabbitMQ/Kafka) and realtime protocols—with pragmatic DevOps using Docker and Kubernetes. A longtime advocate of Kanban, Scrum and BDD, he consistently couples agile delivery practices (Cucumber, Jira) with heavy personal contribution to code, spending over 80% of his time building production systems. Hugo has founded and scaled multiple SaaS products across domains from music and mobility to real estate and food-tech, and also spent years as an indie game developer shipping multiplayer titles with Unity. Equally comfortable teaching and recruiting, he brings a rare mix of systems depth, product intuition and creative engineering — down to using Vim as his primary editor.
