02. Featured Projects

Web3 & Smart Contracts

CandiVoto

Fully functional on-chain voting system. Project demonstrating a deep understanding of how blockchain works end-to-end. Integrated smart contracts with UI, explained logic to other developers, and documented the process.

→ Key Learnings:

Solidity, testing, debugging blockchain issues

SolidityNext.jsFoundryTesting

BrickForge

Learning project developed during the Blockchain Diploma (UTN). Design of a real-world asset tokenization protocol (real estate, private credit) focused on LATAM regulation. Implemented a Hub-and-Spoke architecture, compliance framework based on Trust structures in Argentina, and tokenomics. Whitepaper completed with technical specifications.

→ Key Learnings:

DeFi architecture, RWA concepts, ERC-20/ERC-3643 standards, regulatory compliance

SolidityERC-3643ComplianceTokenomics

CrowdFund

On-chain crowdfunding platform where contributors fund a project without intermediaries: if the threshold is met before the deadline, funds go automatically to the recipient; otherwise, each contributor withdraws exactly what they put in.

→ Key Learnings:

Checks-effects-interactions pattern, gas-efficient custom errors, Foundry testing, Sepolia testnet deployment

SolidityFoundryNext.jsSmart Contracts

Web2 & Full Stack

TratoProp

Rental management platform. Worked on UX, understanding how users interact with tech products. Learned to simplify complex features. Invaluable experience for explaining features to end users.

→ Key Learnings:

UX thinking, user pain points, product complexity

ReactNext.jsUX DesignProduct SimplificationAPI IntegrationPDF Libs

Calcular Alquiler

Accurate calculator for adjusting rental contracts in Argentina using official IPC (INDEC inflation) and ICL (Central Bank) indices. Allows tenants and landlords to calculate rent increases instantly and export PDF reports.

→ Key Learnings:

Integration of official BCRA/INDEC APIs/scrapers, dynamic PDF generation on frontend, SEO optimization, and web monetization.

Solidity Course (Cyfrin.io)

→ Why I took it:

Technical foundation for writing secure smart contracts, the core of my path as a Smart Contract Engineer.

Blockchain Basics (Cyfrin.io)

→ Why I took it:

Blockchain fundamentals needed to understand the environment where the contracts I build actually run.

Blockchain & Solidity BasicsETH Kipu & UCEMA

Ethereum and DeFi - Module 1 (ETH Kipu & UCEMA)

→ Why I took it:

Introductory course to blockchain, EVM, Bitcoin, and its history, among other topics.

Verify
Solidity BasicsETH Kipu & UCEMA

Ethereum and DeFi - Module 2 (ETH Kipu & UCEMA)

→ Why I took it:

Solidity at a basic level, with a first look at Foundry.

Verify
AI / LLMsAnthropic

Claude 101 (Anthropic)

→ Why I took it:

Using AI to speed up contract testing, auditing, and documentation.

Verify
Blockchain & FinanceUTN FRBA

Diploma in Blockchain and Digital Finance

→ Why I took it:

I took both tracks —Developer and Business— because understanding the business model and product is the foundation for what gets built technically afterward. I learned a lot through the capstone project on the legal framework for asset tokenization and the logic behind it, while reviewing blockchain fundamentals and best practices for modeling smart contracts.
