I started my career as a corporate lawyer before making the leap to Solidity development. Operating out of Lisbon, my technical focus is on the most complex intersection of Web3 today: making decentralized code peacefully coexist with strict regulatory frameworks like MiCA in the European Union. My job isn’t to give traditional legal advice, but to program the smart contracts and interfaces that mitigate founders’ risks—from automated geo-blocking to on-chain accreditation checks. I try to build architectures that comply with GDPR and securities laws without ruining the end-user experience.
