Blockchain SWE | CTO @ Viridian Advisor
La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
Writing code since 2011, professionally since 2016. I've been working in the blockchain scene since 2017.
Backend person, infra architect, smart contract dev. My preferred backend stack is based on Python, but Typescript and Rust are fine options too.
Even though I'm not a frontend person, I do build interfaces from time to time. What's the point of a system no-one can interact with?
I sometimes participate in game jams (although anonymously), and tinker with custom hardware (mainly rhythm game controllers) when I get the chance.
