👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlvaro Crespo is an Android and blockchain engineer with a decade of experience building secure, user-focused mobile wallets and payments systems, currently helping power Muun, a self-custodial Bitcoin and Lightning wallet. He combines deep algorithmic and mathematical instincts—reflected in his long-running adjunct teaching of discrete math and web engineering at ITBA—with pragmatic product engineering across Android, backend integrations, and cross-platform mobile work. His background spans startups and payments in Latin America, game development, and hands-on backend integrations for multi-country payment providers, giving him a rare blend of low-level crypto intuition and production-grade app UX. Based in Buenos Aires, he pairs academic rigor with product-minded execution and a sustained curiosity about physics and Bitcoin that informs both design and risk-aware engineering.
