Summary
Martín Rué is a seasoned engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling web and fintech products, now serving as Head of Engineering at Forward Share Ventures in Madrid. He has a strong track record leading teams from prototype to production—hiring and managing high-performing engineers, bridging product and technology, and driving strategic direction at startups like stockperks and scale-ups like Pennylane. Hands-on across the stack, Martín has modernized legacy front-ends to React/TypeScript, implemented GraphQL and Node.js backends, and repeatedly tackled technical debt and developer hiring at scale. He combines a pragmatic product focus with mentorship experience (including Flatiron School programs and extensive interview panels), making him as comfortable shipping code as shaping org-level engineering practices. Fluent in English and grounded by formal studies in computer engineering, Martín brings both international telecom/fintech systems experience and a founder-minded approach to venture studio building.
