About me
I’m Emilio Carrión, a product engineer with extensive experience in the technology sector. I currently work as a Staff Engineer at Mercadona Tech, where I work alongside an exceptional product development team focused on creating digital experiences for the company’s customers (the Jefes).
I am passionate about creating products and services that make people’s lives easier and simpler. I believe that technology has the power to improve our lives, and I am committed to developing solutions that have a positive impact on society.
In this blog, I will share my knowledge and experiences about software engineering, product development, and technology in general.
