Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJorge Restrepo is a serial entrepreneur and front-end developer with 11 years of engineering experience and 15+ years building smart, resilient, and sustainable city initiatives across South Florida and Latin America. As Co-Founder of BitBasel and ETH Mobile he blends practical Web3 product-building with hands-on UI contributions—his frontend work includes meaningful improvements to Lyft’s popular Clutch infrastructure UI. An immigrant-driven career rooted in Miami Dade College and FIU evolved into civic tech leadership (keys to the City and County of Miami) and advisory roles with the UF Blockchain Lab, Blockchain Center Miami, and the Miami-Dade Cryptocurrency Taskforce. He has launched multiple co-working concepts, accelerated social innovation through Momentum International, and helped land the first digital art museum on the Moon via the Lunaprise Moon Museum project. Comfortable at the intersection of startups, policy, and education, he advises university programs and supports founders as a partner at LDA Capital. Notably, he combines community-first ecosystem building with concrete product work—shipping UI components and storybook/test migrations in major open-source repos.
