About Me (EN)

Hello! My name is Roberto Mengibar, and I’m a Spanish Automation Consultant. I have extensive experience in DevOps and systems automation. Throughout my career, I have worked on significant projects for companies such as BNP Paribas, ENGIE IT, BBVA, and Telefónica, developing innovative and efficient infrastructure management solutions. I have been living in Paris since 2019, which has allowed me to fully integrate into the French professional environment. I’m fluent in French, English and Spanish.
