About me

I’m Daniel Atienza López — a Cloud & Data Architect with over a decade of experience delivering enterprise cloud, data and AI solutions across banking, telecommunications, retail and digital businesses. I design secure, scalable platforms on Google Cloud — data platforms, governance, security and cloud transformation in regulated environments — and more recently help organisations adopt Generative AI and Agentic AI where they create real business value.

Away from a desk I’m usually outside — hiking, running, or on a mountain bike — or travelling, cooking, and reading. When I travel I like to see a place by walking it: parks, coast paths, and hill loops before the museums and city centres.

I care about doing things properly. That means shipping work that holds up, keeping systems as simple and reliable as I can, and writing clearly enough that someone else can reuse the idea.

This site is where those threads meet. Technology is notes on cloud, software, and how I build online. Routes is hikes and runs I’ve done, often with maps and GPX. The gallery is photographs from those days out.

If you want to get in touch — about work or anything else — LinkedIn is the best place.
