I founded Sailing Protocol. I am passionate about economics and love building economic infrastructure for a better future.I am the Argentine national champion in Competitive Programming, Physics, Mathematical Computing, the national sub champion in General Sciences, and ranked top places nationally multiple times in Math.After working for startups for four years, I moved back to the US to get my Summa Cum Laude degrees in Economics, Data Science Engineering, Math, and Physics at the University of Michigan, graduating with straight As.I worked at Facebook understanding Fake News using ML, and improved the Facebook Dating matching systems. I did cancer diagnosis research as a Machine Learning Engineer at the University of Michigan Hospital. I have also done General Artificial Intelligence research, and built automated ML software for startup Liquid Carrot.I have been in the Decentralized Infrastructure space since 2018, when I wrote the initial Ethereum Smart Contracts for climate change startup carbonclear.earth in Denmark.Nowadays, I build technology to make the world economy more accessible, transparent, efficient, and programmable, by spearheading the Sailing Labs and the Sailing Protocol.
