I am a second-generation programmer who started coding at age 9, participating in my first International Olympiad in Informatics at 12. With over 36 years of programming experience and 28 years as a professional software engineer (since 1997), I specialize in high-performance computing, blockchain, and modern C++ development.
My work received the “Senator Domingo Faustino Sarmiento” Honorable Mention, Argentina's highest parliamentary award, for my contributions to COPLA, where I helped define Argentina's continental shelf limits submitted to the United Nations under UNCLOS.
I am a core developer in the Bitcoin ecosystem, with over 10 years of experience working on various full node implementations, including Knuth (which I founded), Bitcoin Cash Node, and Bitcoin ABC. My focus is on ensuring Bitcoin Cash remains true to its vision as peer-to-peer electronic cash for the world.
I am a member of the ISO C and C++ committees (WG14 & WG21) since 2022, contributing to the evolution of the language. My expertise spans low-level systems programming, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and blockchain technology.
Since 2000, I have been actively developing blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions using Solidity, Rust, and other technologies. I have built and deployed multiple DeFi platforms, including decentralized exchanges (DEXes) based on Uniswap V2 and V3, a DEX aggregator, an on-chain order book system, and tokenomics mechanisms such as deflationary token models. My experience spans from smart contract design to full-stack implementation, leveraging Rust for high-performance backend services and Solidity for secure, scalable DeFi protocols.
In recent years, I have also expanded my skills into data science, developing high-performance data processing solutions using C++23 and WebAssembly, ensuring fast, scalable computations directly in the browser.
