CV
Hi there! 👋
I’m a creative technologist with 17+ years of experience in startups, bridging creativity, design, and engineering. My core strength is simplifying complex ideas into user-friendly products and leading their development across design, code, and strategy.
I thrive in small, motivated teams where hands-on building meets clear communication and strong collaboration. While I excel at coordination, my true passion is rolling up my sleeves and creating alongside others.
Roles Where I Shine
My experience spans Product Leadership, Product Design, Frontend Engineering, and Protocol Engineering. I’ve worn many hats, supporting teams wherever needed, and I specialize in user-facing product development.
Formerly trained as an architect and engineer, I transitioned into tech out of curiosity, and stayed because I love building products that make complex systems accessible.
Core Competencies
🍫 Product Leadership
Turn high-level goals into actionable roadmaps. Skilled at guiding multidisciplinary teams to deliver cohesive, high-impact products.
🍬 Product Design
Blend aesthetics and function to create intuitive, engaging user experiences. My architectural background sharpens my perspective on user flows and spatial logic.
🍭 Frontend Engineering
Bring products to life with clean, efficient code. I focus on performance, maintainability, and user delight.
🍩 Web3 & Protocols
Hands-on work across decentralized identity, NFTs, DAOs, governance, and arbitration protocols:
- Self-sovereign identity (SSI) solutions
- NFT experiences & composability
- DAO governance & tokenomics
- Protocol implementations
Beyond Work
☕️ Coffee Enthusiast
I run a monthly coffee-buying group with 40+ members, serious about good beans.
💿 Music Producer & DJ
Deeply rooted in the European underground scene. I DJ, produce electronic music, and have supported small festivals with scenography and stage design.
🎨 Arts Ecosystem
Connected to arts and culture in Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, and Berlin, contributing to creative and cultural projects.
Professional Approach
I combine creativity, product design, and technical expertise into a flexible toolkit:
- Speak design, technical, and business “languages” fluently
- Simplify complexity into clear, user-friendly solutions
- Build with an eye on both feasibility and user experience
- Make pragmatic decisions under evolving roadmaps and constraints
I thrive at the intersection of art and technology, delivering meaningful products that balance creativity with technical depth.
Career Focus
I’ve worked with early and mid-stage startups across UX-heavy products, helping them become accessible and impactful.
In Web3, I’ve been both an early builder and advocate, contributing to identity, art, DAOs, and governance systems. My focus is advancing user experience in decentralized technologies while preserving sovereignty at every step.

Learnings:
- Idealism is effective for assembling teams and creating visionary goals (north stars), but not for setting practical internal objectives.
- Cryptocurrency is a fantastic engine for capital formation; however, the user experience (UX) needs to be refined.

In my research on the intriguing outcomes of utilizing ERC-721 technology in art, I explored the concept of fully collaborative art. This concept is based on the idea that we can now emulate the eternal nature of physical art in the digital realm, but with all the enhanced capabilities that digitalization offers. However, it's still early days, and to achieve digital permanency, we are restricted to publishing directly on the blockchain rather than using any other digital storage methods.
The exploration focused on what could be achieved with the "on-chain" aspect, where the pure data held directly on the blockchain represents an artwork. This artwork could then be composed of many pieces that together form a higher-level piece. Interestingly, the ownership of the higher-level piece can differ from that of the lower-level ones.
The dynamics continue to evolve. As the digital nature of the artwork allows for its endless mutation while remaining eternal, we see ever-changing digital artworks owned by multiple individuals.
Forever changing digital artworks owned by many can now exist.
- Ideation of how collaborative digital ownership could be represented.
- Design and build custom NFT smart contract
- Design and build custom website to interact with it.

My first entrepreneurial venture was with Replit, which was akin to Quora, but with videos, during a time when short video communication was still finding its place in the social networking landscape. Our competitors included Vine, Whale App, and Periscope.
Replit offered both a web and mobile experience that allowed users to engage in short, public, and private video conversations structured similarly to a forum. Users could navigate through a mixture of threads and conversations based on the topics they followed.

- Entrepreneurship is hard but amazing if you enjoy it, is not thought in school, and is a constant learning curve.
- The environment and network matters as much as delivering and fast iterations.
- Software is reinventing all previous communication models but re-shaped to mobile experiences.
