Q: For those who don’t know you at ULab, who are you?

A: I am Raúl Romero. I was born in Madrid 36 years ago  although I have lived most of my life a little further south, in Getafe .

Q: What do you do?

A: I am a Telecommunications Engineer, specialized  in connectivity and networks.

Q: What is your role in the company (if you are not self-employed)?

I am currently working as a freelancer for SAP Germany, supporting the HANA Enterprise Cloud team on routing/switching issues.

Q: Nowadays, we live in a very competitive world. What do you think is the trait that differentiates you from the rest?

A: I like to repay the trust they place in me with hard work and effort. I love to learn new things and help as much as possible.

Q: How did you end up at ULab?

A: By teleworking all the time, I was able to do it from wherever I wanted and also I wanted  to spend a few months away from Madrid. Alicante was one of my favorite choices and I quickly found a flat to share, so I didn’t give it a second thought.

I also knew I wanted to join a coworking company and considering everyone said good things about ULab, I came here.

Q: What does ULab offer you as a work place?

A: A more defined schedule and routine. Not using my home as an office

also helps a lot when it comes to separating my professional and personal life.

Q: How do you feel working at ULab with this new normality?

I feel very comfortable. I think that the measures that are being taken are the right ones.

I am also convinced that by being responsible we will soon return to the old normality.

Q: Small test, what book would you like to recommend? And a movie?

“Ikigai” by Hector Garcia and Frances Miralles.

Miralles is the last book I read and I found it very interesting.I recommend it. Regarding the movie, it is not very original to recommend the last one that has won the Oscar, but “Nomadland”  is a gem.

Q: Let’s finish with your favorite series.

It’s hard to choose one, I’ve seen so many, but if I had to choose? “The Office.”
