About Me

Hi, I'm Ernesto. I like to work on projects that can enhance global living standards, boost economic freedom, or address inefficiencies in societal systems.

I'm currently spending a lot of time learning and building open-source projects in the crypto space.

Some of my recent projects are:

• Pesto - A DeFi protocol that enables users to create independent short and long positions in a single transaction.
• xSafe - A deterministic smart contract deployer.
• Ax Protocol - The interoperability protocol that powers the USX cross-chain stablecoin.

Previously I worked in the aerospace industry — first as a flight test engineer at Textron Aviation, then as a manufacturing operations engineer at Woodward.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Purdue University and I'm currently working on a Master of Science in Computer Science at Georgia Tech.
