About

DeFi + AI + Blockchain engineer with 5+ years across ERC-4626 vaults, multi-agent systems, ZK privacy, and cross-chain infrastructure. Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Flow, Solana, Stacks, Oasis, Starknet — production systems, not just prototypes.

Background

I build across DeFi protocol engineering, multi-agent AI systems, zero-knowledge cryptography, and full-stack web3 products. The common thread: production systems that need to be composable, auditable, and actually shipped — not just theorized. Over 5 years across many chains and many domains.

DeFi: At MORE Markets, shipped 25+ releases of a TypeScript SDK for ERC-4626 cross-chain vaults (Flow EVM / Arbitrum / Base), a Rust flash-loan liquidation bot, and 5 critical vulnerability fixes in protocol core. At ETH Global Argentina, shipped CuyFI — a cross-chain AI yield agent (Polygon → LayerZero → Arbitrum) in 36 hours, and was selected for Uniswap V4 Hook Incubator Cohort 3.

AI automation: At A0X, built swarm mode for parallel specialized AI agents, a lifelong RAG memory system (+8.5% F1 over SimpleMem baseline), and the JesseXBT crypto analyst agent serving 1,000+ Base builders daily across Telegram, XMTP, Twitter, and Farcaster (91K+ conversations analyzed).

Privacy + ZK: The OpenJanus suite — named for the Roman deity of gates and transitions — is a set of published privacy primitives built on Flow's cross-VM bridge: a TypeScript SDK (@claucondor/sdk), three confidential-token contract architectures, and the first published ZK/gas benchmarks in Cadence. PrivateTip is the first confidential tipping app on Flow testnet. Privacy, not anonymity — amounts hide on-chain, senders and recipients stay public, compliance hooks ship before mainnet.

Full stack: Next.js, React Native, Expo, Go backends, Python ML pipelines — shipped across Bolivia (Movya wallet), Venezuela (Universidad de los Andes), and the Flow/Ethereum ecosystems. Comfortable moving from circuit design to TypeScript SDK to production deployment.

I also taught software architecture and distributed systems at Universidad de los Andes for 4 years (100+ students per cycle). Location: Mérida, Venezuela. GMT-4. Remote, EU + US East timezones.
