His journey in the Maker ecosystem began in 2018, where he has combined marketing, strategy, and community management in Latin America. Beyond his work at Maker DAO, he co-founded Maker Growth — the protocol’s growth team — and has taken part in blockchain education initiatives such as Chainevents.io and Be.Blockchain.
