Bitcoin-Focused Software Engineer
About Me
I'm a Bitcoin-focused software engineer from New Zealand.Since February I have been working at Rise, a hybrid payroll platform allowing people to pay and get paid in their preferred currencies -- whether fiat, stablecoins, or crypto.Between 2019-2022 I co-founded one of Latin America's first non-custodial cryptocurrency exchanges, where I took charge of localization, fiat ramps (including PIX), and compliance.In my free time I like to keep up with the latest developments in the Bitcoin space, with a particular interest in sidesystems/L2s such as the Lightning Network.
