Log
Everything shipped since the first internship in 2023, newest first: contracts deployed, packages published, prizes, grants and roles. Whatever can be linked, is.
- Selected
Stellar Builder Summit 2026 — São Paulo
Invited on the strength of Plina Finance: eight days in São Paulo with around 100 builders selected by NearX, Stellar's partner in Brazil. A build-first program, not a conference.
- Grant
Stellar Instaward — Stellar 37°
Plina Finance took an Instaward — the Stellar Regional Chapter's fast-track funding for early-stage builders — through Stellar 37°, the acceleration program NearX runs with the Stellar Development Foundation.
- Production
Prelúdio
Yalla's first event run end to end in production: 113 tickets across 8 lots, 98 people through the door, 257 bar vouchers redeemed with none expired, and a peak of 39 check-ins in one hour.
- Role
CTO — Plina Finance
Took over the on-chain architecture for institutional tokenization of credit rights on Stellar.
- Role
Yalla
Started Yalla as its only engineer: on-chain ticketing for Brazilian event producers, from the Soroban contracts up through the API, the producer panel, the design system and the AWS pipeline.
- Deploy
MomentNFT
ERC-721 on Monad testnet enforcing a one-mint-per-UTC-day invariant on-chain, with the public feed read straight from contract events.
- Prize
Monad Blitz Rio de Janeiro 2026
1st place with Monad Moments: one photo a day, minted as an ERC-721 whose one-per-day limit is enforced by the contract rather than the UI.
- Release
@karn_lat/protocol-sdk 0.1.0-alpha.5
Typed TypeScript SDK for the Karn contracts, with multi-wallet support for Freighter, Lobstr and xBull.
- Release
Karn Protocol
Open-sourced under MIT: three Soroban contracts — Valocracy, Governor and Treasury — with 53 tests and five security findings resolved and documented.
- Role
Karn
Founded Karn: governance infrastructure on Stellar where voting power follows contribution instead of capital, paired with a program for women in tech across Latin America.
- Prize
Nola
1st place in Nola's competition with Mise, an analytics platform for restaurants — multi-store dashboards with DeepSeek for recommendations. The win became the job: I joined Nola as a full-stack intern right after.
- Role
Nola
Full-stack intern: automated testing across React, Node.js and React Native — Jest, Vitest and Cypress — plus cross-stack debugging that cut crash rates.
- Prize
Morro Makers
1st place with Jaspr, a multi-tenant AI concierge for hotels: retrieval-augmented generation over each hotel's own data, so the concierge answers from the real thing instead of inventing it. My first hackathon, built in two days.
- Role
Beplauze
First internship, front-end: led the migration to microfrontends with Astro and built a 40+ component React library documented in Storybook.
- Role
CAPGov
Undergraduate research in ETL: the pipelines in Python and SQL that turn large public datasets into evidence policy researchers can cite.
