About me
Writing software since the last millennium. I'm David Poblador i Garcia, and for over 23 years I've led technology departments and infrastructure teams. I'm a systems specialist with experience in organizational design, scalability, distributed systems, cloud architectures, and GNU/Linux administration.
I'm CTO at Secways, where I oversee technical due diligence and help shape technology strategy across the portfolio.
During my 12 years at Spotify I founded the Site Reliability Engineering department and grew it from a team of 5 to an infrastructure organization of over 100 people. As a Senior Director and Principal Engineer I worked on business-critical projects, including the migration of 15,000+ physical servers to Google Cloud and preparing the tech stack for the company's IPO.
Before Spotify I founded an Internet Service Provider and ran it for over 7 years.
Here I write, in English, about technology that actually works: systems, AI, the companies that build them, and the occasional rant.
I also write in Catalan at poblador.cat.
