He was raised in Villafranca de los Barros, Plasencia and Montijo before moving at age nine to Seville.[2][3][4] After earning a Licentiate degree in Law, he unsuccessfully tried to pass the competitive public examinations in order to become a judge; he desisted and founded a law firm instead.[3]

He took part in the 15-M Movement through ¡Democracia Real YA!.[5] He also participated in the anti-eviction movement.[6] Keen of the online alias hackabogado, Moreno Yagüe, promoter of initiatives such as Democracia 4.0, and #Opeuribor.

In February 2017, he contested the Podemos leadership voting to determine the party's Secretary-General in the 2nd Citizen Assembly ("Vistalegre II"), presenting himself as the single alternative to the leadership of Pablo Iglesias.
