This is my journey

I'm Andrés Clúa, a Creative Technologist from Uruguay based in Bilbao. I've spent the last decade building digital experiences that feel fast, intentional, and well-crafted. What drives me is the challenge of turning complex technical problems into something that feels simple and natural for the people using it.

I work across engineering, creative technology, and performance. I'm always looking for that overlap between what's technically sound and what actually feels right when you interact with it. Whether it's a WebGL experiment, a design system, or a high-traffic web application, I approach everything with the same attention to detail.

Over the years I've worked at places like TEF & ProXPN, and worked in startups like Squalus, Anchor ID & M3. That mix of agency work, product development, and startup life taught me how to move fast without losing sight of the bigger picture. I learned to prototype quickly, ship with confidence, and iterate based on real feedback.

Today I'm Director of Technology, leading a distributed engineering team across Europe. I oversee architectural decisions and align technical execution with business strategy, but I stay hands-on. I still prototype ideas, refine internal tooling, contribute to complex builds, and push code when it matters. I believe the best technical leaders never stop building.

Along the way I've built and maintained a few open-source libraries and tools. They started as solutions to problems I kept running into across projects, and over time they became tools that other developers rely on too.

I want to build systems that last, help teams grow, and ship digital experiences that actually perform. If you're working on something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
