Registered software & blockchain company · 5 service lines: AI & Automation, Software, Blockchain & Web3, Cloud & DevOps, UI/UX & Product
Founded and lead the company end-to-end: strategy, operating model, hiring, client acquisition, and delivery methodology (Discovery → Architecture → Build → Operate).
Designed and deployed an on-chain escrow & dispute-resolution protocol — EscrowFactory, EscrowInstance (states: created, active, completed, expired, dispute, resolved; fee & treasury mechanics) and DisputeModule — on Base Sepolia (chain 84532), built with Solidity + Foundry and OpenZeppelin (SafeERC20, ReentrancyGuard). Contracts verifiable at 0x5F737b… · 0x7E29A0… · 0x1725cd…
Built the AI practice: LLM integration & fine-tuning, multi-agent autonomous pipelines, intelligent process automation, and predictive analytics for enterprise and fintech clients.
Led Web3 product infrastructure for LATAM SMEs: cross-chain payment rails, non-custodial wallet UX (Privy auth, native gas sponsorship, ZKPassport personhood), and NFT marketplaces with stablecoin settlement via Circle Programmable Wallets (USDC).
Client results across delivered platforms (company-reported): reporting time-to-insight reduced from 48h to <4 min; compliance reporting from 3 weeks to 4 hours; smart-contract audit with zero critical findings.
Open community building the Ethereum ecosystem in Cali (ethcali.org)
Led product design and engineering of the ETH Cali Wallet: login by email/passkey via Privy, embedded non-custodial wallets, native gas sponsorship, ZKPassport personhood verification, multi-network support (Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Unichain).
Built Hackmoney, a decentralized auction platform for real-estate NFTs: live bidding, admin dashboard, and USDC settlement through Circle Programmable Wallets (email-OTP wallets).
Launched community infrastructure: AI-powered Telegram bot with real-time crypto pricing (CoinMarketCap API) and event/commerce tooling for the local Ethereum community.
