Àngel Ollé Blázquez
I am a Senior Specialist Solutions Architect, university lecturer, and experienced private tutor with a strong passion for building resilient enterprise solutions using open-source technologies.
Professional Background
Throughout my career as a software engineer, consultant, and support engineer, I have maintained a strong customer-first mindset. This diverse experience has allowed me to support organizations worldwide, both remotely and on-site, while traveling extensively across Europe to deliver hands-on technical assistance. Today, I complement my enterprise work by speaking at leading industry conferences and events.
Academic & Teaching Experience
Alongside my industry career, I have developed graduate-level course materials for a Master's program in Data Science and taught programming courses for a Bachelor's degree in Computer and Telecommunications Engineering. I also design and deliver specialized university programs covering advanced DevSecOps practices.
Education & Research
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Universitat Rovira i Virgili, where I also earned a teaching qualification. I later completed two Master's degrees in Computer Engineering at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.
My research-focused Master's thesis, published by RECERCAT, strengthened my scientific research skills. Driven by a lifelong passion for learning and a desire to better understand the relationship between people and technology, I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology.
Workshops
In my role as a Senior Solutions Architect, I design tailored, hands-on workshops to meet the specific technical and strategic needs of enterprise clients.
These sessions deliver actionable skills and strategic insights to empower teams in an ever-evolving technological landscape. My core areas of expertise within the enterprise open-source ecosystem include:
- Modern Application Development: Accelerating delivery and cloud-native practices.
- Robust DevSecOps Methodologies: Securing the software supply chain from code to production.
- Advanced Security & Identity: Enhancing environments through robust Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions.
