About

I studied Computer Science and Engineering at Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires. I'm originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently living in Uruguay.

I cofounded and was formerly CTO at OpenZeppelin. I created Proof of Existence, one of the first non-financial bitcoin apps. I also helped create Decentraland.

Other interests

Indie games

Especially Braid, a game about time and causality that showed me that videogames can be as deep and enjoyable as books, music or art. Other games I enjoyed a lot are osu!, Today I Die, Undertale and The Witness.

e-sports

I once trained and played in Starcraft 2 tournaments. Valuable resources for learning were Sean Plott's Day[9] TV and Shaun Clark's Terran Tutorials. More recent, Vibe's Bronze to GM series are an amazing way to get better fast, focusing on fundamentals. I usually suck at most games but deeply enjoy the journey of improving myself and the life lessons learned along the way.

Creative Coding

Making art via code. I've seen some mind-bending examples like this fantastic video from FITC Tokyo 2015, or the paintings of StyleNet.

Educational YouTube

My favorite channels are Kurzgesagt, Vsauce, Vi Hart, PBS Spacetime and theodds1sout.

Music

I play some guitar, bass, piano and flute. During 2020 I ventured into EDM production in a duo project called Alpaca Brothers. You can find our tracks on soundcloud or Spotify.

Podcasts

My favorite hosts are Lex Fridman (my favorite episode), Dan Carlin (my favorite episode), and Tim Ferris (my favorite episode).
