About

Multidisciplinary IT worker with a degree in Computer Engineering. I've been part of numerous projects of different kinds: from web and software development to Big Data ETL processes for international entities. For almost 4 years, I've been working on projects related to DeFi as a frontend developer, and later as CTO, PM, and Co-Founder.

My expertise spans across web development, DeFi projects, and smart contract analysis, with a strong focus on strategic planning and team leadership. I'm passionate about creating experiences that not only look great but are meticulously built for performance and usability.
