Portrait of David de Mingo

David de Mingo

Founder of Optersoft · Software engineer & consultant since 2007

I design, build and ship software end to end — and help companies do the same. Since 2007 I have taken products from idea to production: web and mobile apps, cloud backends and AI-powered tools, both for my own ventures and as a hands-on consultant to teams that need one built.

Background

  • Software engineering & consulting

    17+ years shipping to production

    Since 2007 I have designed, built and shipped production software — web and mobile apps, cloud backends and AI-powered products — for my own ventures and as a hands-on consultant to companies that need an idea turned into something real.

  • Engineering

    EQF 7 · MECES 3 · 375 ECTS

    Combined Bachelor's + Master's in Computer Engineering — FIB · UPC BarcelonaTech, 2007. The old 6-year Enginyeria Informàtica. I have built real systems, so I know how to build yours.

  • Teaching

    Since 2021

    IT teacher since 2021, in secondary education and vocational training — which keeps me sharp at explaining hard ideas simply and mentoring the engineers I work with.

  • Psychology

    EQF 7 · MECES 3 · 300 ECTS

    Combined Bachelor's + Master's in Psychology — Universitat de Barcelona, 2000. The old 5-year Llicenciatura en Psicologia. I understand how people learn and build mental models, so I design products and interfaces that make sense to the people using them.

  • Management

    MECES 2 · 120 ECTS

    Bachelor's in Business Administration and Management — UNED, 2000. I scope, plan and run projects, so the work stays on track and actually reaches production.
