I'm very excited to be in the forefront of blockchain technology by becoming a full-time blockchain developer in 2023. I work with incredible blockchain developers and individuals at DappAstra Full-Stack DApp Development. I'm exploring opportunities in the blockchain technology space, not only EVM, but any blockchain. I am based in Helsinki, Finland but I don't mind working remote, my current location is Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

I took the decisive step to get into blockchain development full time when I enrolled to an online blockchain development community (DApp University) to learn Solidity, JavaScript and other real life blockchain developer tools. Since then it has been a great experience and growth story: I've met awesome like-minded people and I have learned a lot of technical skills in relatively short time. You can check out some of my personal portfolio projects in my PORTFOLIO section above. At DappAstra we leverage our expert team to provide excellent service with freelance pricing.

I made my first investment in cryptocurrencies in 2017. Ever since then I've been interested in it's possibilities. There are already blockchain based solutions in the real world, but there's also a lot of yet undelivered promises and possibilities for the future. I am very pro-crypto after living and doing business in a country that had a failing currency (Argentine peso, ARS).

I'm fascinated by the psychology of markets which, in my opinion, is very visible in crypto as there is low liquidity and few institutions. I've seen the markets go up and down in cyclical manner. I've done leverage trading and played around with trading bots that talk directly to blockchain etc. Basically crypto has been a hobby of mine since 2017.

I've been working as a clothing industry entrepreneur for the past 8 years. I've been doing a very diverse range of things like selling, marketing and copywriting, buying raw materials, controlling quality, managing warehouse and production, photography, graphic designing and accounting etc.

I also worked twice (in 2020 and 2021) on a temporary contract in the Finnish Embassy in Buenos Aires as an administrative officer of passports, residence permits and visas.
