I threw myself into the work, listened closely, and burned it into memory. That’s how you learn, you know?
The company
Gibobs is a Spanish fintech focused on mortgages and personal finance; Allbanks is its app to manage all your bank accounts in one place. I joined when there were fewer than 20 people in the entire company, and it has been growing non-stop ever since.
My role
I started as iOS Technical Director, building the app from scratch and guiding it through every stage of its evolution. Over time my responsibility grew into leading the entire mobile department, coordinating the native iOS and Android apps and the people building them.
That role sharpened my decision-making, both around the technologies we adopted and the team itself. It was also a big leap in organisation, running methodologies like SCRUM and Kanban, and in product thinking, as I worked very closely with stakeholders on the product’s direction.
Responsibilities
- Building and evolving the iOS app from scratch to production.
- Leading the mobile department (native iOS and Android): planning, priorities and follow-up.
- Managing the development team following SCRUM principles.
- Architecture and technology decisions across the mobile area.
- Direct collaboration with Backend, Web, Product and Design on product definition.
