AI Integration & Applied Solutions
I design and deploy AI-powered solutions that plug into real workflows — not isolated experiments. From agent systems to intelligent automation, I focus on practical impact.
AI Enablement · Technical Consulting · Barcelona
I turn AI and automation into real capabilities for teams and businesses.
AI Enablement engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building cloud systems, data pipelines, and applied automation. I combine deep technical skill with product thinking to deliver solutions that reduce friction, accelerate execution, and create lasting impact.
About me
I'm Gerard Garcia Grau, an AI Enablement engineer based in Barcelona. I help teams and organizations adopt AI, automation, and smart tooling to work better — not as a concept, but as applied, operational capability.
My foundation is in backend engineering and cloud architecture — 5+ years building serverless systems, data pipelines, and integrations with TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS across IoT, reputational intelligence, and consultancy environments. That technical depth is what makes my enablement work credible and executable.
What sets me apart is that I don't just write code — I detect opportunities, design solutions, coordinate across teams, and deliver systems that leave installed capabilities behind. I operate at the intersection of engineering, product, and business where AI can generate the most value.
I don't build isolated experiments. I build systems that teams and businesses actually use — and that make them measurably better.
I speak English, Spanish, and Catalan fluently, and I'm currently studying Chinese. I thrive in cross-functional environments where the goal is impact, not just output.
What I do
Process Automation & Enablement
I identify friction in how teams work and build automation that eliminates it — CI/CD pipelines, data workflows, tooling, and integrations that make execution faster.
Cloud Architecture & Data Pipelines
Serverless, event-driven systems on AWS. Data ingestion with Airflow, Glue, and Athena. I build reliable infrastructure that supports product, analytics, and operations.
Cross-Functional Coordination
I move between engineering, product, data, and operations teams. I translate needs into solutions and ensure alignment from scope to delivery.
Technical Leadership & Ownership
Feature lead experience owning work end-to-end — from scope definition and story breakdown to delivery alignment with stakeholders. I drive, not just execute.
Product & Business Thinking
I care about what problem a solution solves, for whom, and why it matters strategically. Technology is the means — business impact is the goal.
