I am a founder and engineer working in crypto since 2017. Currently, I'm work on something related to DeFi, what I am calling Open Finance. I'm most familiar with Solidity and the EVM, while I also have some minor experience with the Cosmos and Solana ecosystems.

I spend a small amount of my time angel investing in tech startups, and investing in general.

Ekonomia & Photon Finance - 2022 - 2023

Founder, CEO and CTO. Grew to a team of 9 people. After 1 year we shut it down before launching a product. We moved too slow and did not innovate enough on decentralized stablecoins.
