Understand the challenge
Listen to business, operations and technology teams; understand the constraints and distinguish the real problem from its symptoms.
I join your team and bring technical judgement and hands-on delivery. You keep control of the decisions and the technology.FDE · Forward Deployed Engineering: understanding the problem in your environment and working with you until the solution works.
I join my clients’ teams to solve complex technology challenges. I bring experience, architectural judgement and the ability to deliver, working alongside them until the solution works.









The project, the decisions, the technology and the results are yours. I bring experience, a cross-disciplinary perspective, judgement and the ability to move things forward. I don’t join as an external supplier: I work as a member of your team.
Embedded Technology Partner
I can start by understanding a business problem, help decide on an architecture and end up working side by side with your engineers to solve the final implementation challenge.
I have experienced technology as a technician, architect, entrepreneur, executive, teacher and mentor. That experience allows me to move between business and code without losing focus: making sure the solution works and the team grows along the way.
It is not about creating dependency. It is about sharing what I have learnt, asking informed questions and leaving knowledge where it belongs: in your organisation.
No universal recipes or technology for fashion’s sake. I fit into the way you work and bring what is most needed at each stage: clarity, judgement, technical depth or an extra pair of hands.
Listen to business, operations and technology teams; understand the constraints and distinguish the real problem from its symptoms.
Compare alternatives, risks and architectural decisions. Create a solid foundation before iterating.
Prototype, integrate, review code and infrastructure, diagnose problems or unblock the team whenever needed.
Transfer knowledge as we work. The solution and the know-how must remain with the client.
Ownership of the project, priorities, decisions, technology, knowledge and ultimate responsibility for the results.
Vision, experience, technical autonomy, honest conversation, the ability to deliver and the willingness to support the team through the stages it needs.
I don’t come to replace your team. I come to strengthen it. And to leave it with more capability than when I arrived.
I don’t define my work by a list of tools. But knowing technology in depth is what enables me to help choose it, connect it and make it work.
IT/OT, industrial connectivity, edge, systems integration and shop-floor data with context and business relevance.
Distributed architectures, containers, Kubernetes, automation, observability and systems that truly work in operation.
From industrial data to applied intelligence: pipelines, analytics platforms, RAG, agents and new architectures.
Technical decisions with a focus on security, scalability, reliability and long-term maintenance.
Teams, processes, support for technical leaders and communication between business and technology.
Constant curiosity, open solutions and shared learning as a way to build autonomy.
From systems to data and artificial intelligence.
Three ways of doing what has driven me for decades: sharing knowledge, experience and creativity.
01I join the project from within. I can bring strategic clarity, architecture, hands-on technical help or support for leaders and teams.

02From the classroom to practice: I help students, executives and engineers understand and experiment with technologies they will later need to use.
Explore training
03I share ideas, experiences and a human perspective on technological transformation. On stage, with the same passion as in front of a terminal.
Explore talksI’m Oriol Rius. Technologist, entrepreneur, consultant, teacher and speaker. But above all, I’m still that child who discovered computing at nine years old and decided never to stop learning.
I believe in technology and in people. In conversations where we all learn. In technical rigour without losing curiosity. And in knowledge being worth more when it is shared.
The curiosity that began at the age of 9 still drives everything I do.
The best way to explain how I work is to listen to those who have shared the journey with me.
More testimonials“In the initiatives we have worked on together, he has been able to combine the project’s strategic vision with very deep technical knowledge. I would also highlight his excellent communication skills.”

“Able to draw out the essence of processes to simplify and improve them, above all, but not only, in technology and industry 4.0. It is an honour and a privilege to collaborate, learn and work with him.”

“It is not very common to find an outstanding professional like Oriol, with judgement, values and a deep understanding of himself, making teamwork and the development of strategic projects easier.”

“Oriol brings architectural judgement and practical experience to help us simplify complex decisions and move the team forward. He gets involved alongside us, while the technology and decisions remain ours.”
You don’t need to have the solution clear in your mind. Let’s start by understanding the problem, together.
