About.

bio · events · off-keyboard

I'm a senior blockchain engineer and technical lead — 8+ years shipping smart contracts, DeFi protocols and zk infrastructure across multi-chain ecosystems. Most of it runs in Solidity and TypeScript, with whatever else the problem actually needs.

Since December 2023 I've been Core Technical Lead at Syscoin — from application-layer DeFi and wallet products (Pegasys, Pali) to core infrastructure and zk scaling (zkSYS, Rollux). In July 2025 I co-founded Kmino, a product studio designing, building and launching our own products across Web3, Fintech and AI.

AI-assisted engineering sits at the core of how I ship now — Claude Code with multi-agent orchestration (context-mode), Codex and Cursor across design, review, testing and documentation. Human in the loop; every change reviewed before it hits git.

Dual citizen — Brazil and Poland. Based in Florianópolis.

“Truth on Sui” — 1st place, SuiHub on-site hackathon

I won first place — solo project — at the on-site hackathon with Sui Attestation Service, a decentralized attestation infrastructure on Sui. Designed the smart-contract architecture and demoed the protocol to the judging panel.

Lunos at Devcon — client & investor pitch

Pitched Lunos — a decentralized risk-management protocol for Web3 — to strategic partners and investors at Ethereum's biggest conference: DevCon. Walked through the architecture, the business model and the “how it works” flow for cross-chain coverage.

Mentoring at Monad Blitz Brazil

Mentored a cohort of Brazilian Web3 builders through the Monad Blitz hackathon across São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro — reviewing smart-contract architectures, helping teams scope ambitious projects down to shippable demos, and kicking the events off from stage.
