Top SchoolCarlos Buendía is a Barcelona-based (Madrid) researcher and software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in Ethereum and blockchain protocol development. He has built and shipped on-chain systems from scratch—most notably contributing protocol and smart-contract work that helped secure over $200M TVL for Enzyme and adding complex integrations like CompoundDebtPosition. As a former CTO/co-founder at a ConsenSys-incubated startup, he blends hands-on Solidity engineering with project leadership, hiring and DevOps across teams. Currently researching MEV and DeFi, he combines academic rigor (MSc in Signal Processing) with practical R&D, and his open-source contributions include substantive refactors and validation hooks for the widely used Enzyme Protocol. Notably, he has a history of turning proofs-of-concept into production-grade DeFi primitives and pricing logic for major protocols such as Uniswap, Compound, and Aave.
