Xavier Capdevila

Software Architect & Craftsmanship

Software Engineer with more than 10 years of experience.

I am currently Software Architect at Paradigma Digital where I design IT solutions using advanced design patterns and new technologies. I'm used to work mainly in Cloud based solutions using Google Cloud Platform as well as on-premise solutions.
I have extensive experience in the sectors of digital payments (PCI-DSS), e-commerce, Fintech and telecom.

I am passionate about my work and, although I enjoy all aspects of it, my favourite stage of a project is, after working with the stakeholders and the product unit leader to understand the business objectives, design the IT solution and implement it together with the team. I love learning new management methodologies and new technologies; and I am always evolving through continuous training.

In addition, I have knowledge and wide experience in Agile and Agile Management methodologies. Speaking of Scrum, I am Product Owner and Scrum Master. I have also led development teams and projects of up to 12 people.

I like to stay in touch with other IT experts. I am open to connect with former colleagues, managers, or just interesting people, so don't hesitate to contact me.
