Vicente Torres

Eleven years building for the web. The last five at Holded.

I lead the frontend at Holded.

I own its architecture, lead the team's projects, and hire and train the people who join. Before Holded I spent six years as a full-stack developer, starting as an intern in Jerez.

I finished LIDR's tech leadership master first in my cohort, and I never stopped writing code: 4,400+ contributions in the last year.
