Oriol Fuertes

IT consultant, software architect, former CTO, and Manager at Accenture, with over 20 years of experience helping organizations design, build, and scale innovative digital solutions through Fuertes-IT.

My passion for technology began early. At age seven, I built my first computer from spare parts. By ten, I was already programming.

Since then, I have built more than 20 years of experience in IT. I moved from hands-on development into leadership roles, including CTO positions and management at Accenture. In addition, I founded two technology companies, both successfully acquired by larger organizations.

Through Fuertes-IT, I help organizations turn complex ideas into practical and reliable solutions.

I combine deep technical expertise with a hands-on approach. At the same time, I collaborate closely with stakeholders to ensure that results truly matter.

Professional Highlights

Profile Summary

Senior software developer and manufacturing systems specialist focused on building scalable, reliable software for real-world environments.

I combine deep engineering expertise with practical industrial knowledge. As a result, I help organizations connect business requirements, enterprise systems, and shopfloor operations.

Through Fuertes-IT, I work hands-on with technology while also providing technical leadership when needed. My focus is clear architecture, pragmatic execution, and long-term stability.

Professional Experience

My professional path spans more than 20 years across software development, industrial IT, and technology leadership.

Early in my career, I worked directly in manufacturing environments. Therefore, I gained first-hand experience with shopfloor processes and operational constraints.

Later, I founded two technology companies. In one of them, I served as CTO and led product development and technical strategy. Both companies were successfully acquired.

In addition, I worked as a Manager at Accenture within the Industry X practice. There, I combined solution architecture, team leadership, and enterprise delivery in complex industrial projects.

This combination of engineering depth, entrepreneurial responsibility, and enterprise experience defines how I approach projects today.

Education

I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.

My academic focus included high-performance systems architecture, operating systems, and communication networks. Furthermore, I completed advanced studies and a thesis project at the Freie Universität Berlin as part of the Erasmus program.

There, I specialized in computer vision and video image recognition. This academic foundation complements my extensive practical experience.

Skills

My expertise is built around three complementary pillars: software engineering, manufacturing IT specialization, and technology leadership.

As a Senior Software Developer, I design and build scalable, high-quality solutions across the full stack.

I combine modern technologies with cloud platforms and pragmatic problem solving. As a result, systems remain reliable and maintainable over time.

As an IT Manager, CTO, or Team Lead, I help organizations define clear technology strategies.

In addition, I lead development teams and deliver complex projects through structured communication and strong leadership. Therefore, projects stay aligned with business goals.

As a MES / MOM / Shopfloor Manufacturing Expert, I connect production environments with enterprise IT systems.

Moreover, I support digitalization initiatives and optimize industrial processes through practical solutions. Because I combine software engineering with manufacturing expertise, I bridge the gap between shopfloor and enterprise IT.

I offer a broad range of services spanning software development, technology leadership, and manufacturing IT to help organizations solve complex challenges.
