Who is Ignacio?

I'm a Chief Enterprise Architect at Kyndryl. I've been here for more than 15 years — first at IBM, then at Kyndryl after the 2021 spin-off.

For the past , I've led a team of specialists serving a major international telecom. We design and deliver large-scale, resilient infrastructure. My job is simple to describe: I turn business problems into technology solutions.

I cover the full stack: compute, network, storage, security, and cyber resiliency. In practice, that means reducing legacy debt, migrating to the cloud, keeping services running even when a full data center goes down, and building automation that scales with demand. I also design GPU platforms to support AI workloads — infrastructure built to run large language models at scale.

Right now I'm leading a project to run AI workloads on-premises with open-weight LLMs. I'm designing the architecture and sizing the components it takes to make that work — GPUs, switches, storage and everything in between.

Before this, I led the design and deployment of a Private cloud built on Red Hat technologies, and architected workload mobility strategies across clouds — moving workloads to the right place to cut technical debt and reduce costs. I've also designed hybrid and multi-cloud environments spanning GCP, AWS, and OCI.

Before infrastructure, I worked in business intelligence, big data and NLP — building chatbots, training ML models and processing unstructured data with IBM Watson.

I teach cloud computing, big data, analytics and NLP in several Master's programs. I'm also a member of the Association of Enterprise Architects (Spain chapter) and one of the organizers of Big Data Developers in Madrid — a community of over 4,250 members.
