I'm a DeFi Ethereum Developer with a profound dedication to building infrastructure that promotes decentralization and empowers individuals. My journey began in the Web2 space, where I honed my skills in software development, automation, and cybersecurity, working with notable companies like Nokia, Altice Portugal, and Everis/NTT Data. Transitioning to the world of blockchain, I've become a security enthusiast, protocol designer, and advocate for open, decentralized systems.

• 🔭 Currently, I'm focusing on developing smart contracts and protocols that bring real value and security to the DeFi space, and Decentralization.
• 🌱 I'm on a continuous learning path to deepen my knowledge in blockchain technology and its potential to revolutionize how we interact with the digital and financial worlds.
• 💬 Ask me about Solidity, smart contract security, or anything related to blockchain.

• 📍 Based in Remote Lisbon, Portugal.
• ⚡ Fun fact: My journey into blockchain was sparked during the GameStop short squeeze in early 2021. Witnessing firsthand how Wall Street could manipulate markets with minimal consequences. I felt the urgent need for change! As a retail investor, the experience left me frustrated with the centralized powers that govern the world. Inspired by the resilience of GameStop investors 💎🤲 , I'm now committed to creating decentralized systems.
• 🚀 My goal? To build a financial world that is transparent, censorship-resistant, and truly empowers the individual. Here's to decentralization, where every one of us has a fighting chance.

• Blockchain: Solidity, Ethereum, Smart Contracts
• Frontend: React (for DApp integration)
• Backend: Python, C++, Java, JavaScript, PowerShell
• Tools: Grafana, Prometheus, Azure

• Role: VP for Smart-Contracts and Web3 ( Currently here )
• Challenges: Being a VP and coordinating large teams is a complex role that requires a blend of strategic vision, operational expertise, leadership, and interpersonal skills. The challenge lies not only in managing the tasks at hand but in inspiring and leading teams towards a common goal while navigating the complexities of the organization and the external environment, like hired services. But also managing resources and time for development. Often required to make tough decisions that can impact the direction of their teams and the company. These decisions can involve financial investments, project prioritization, or strategic shifts, often under conditions of uncertainty.
