Senior🎓
Top SchoolJose Palacios is a founder and CTO with 11 years in tech and 7+ years building production JavaScript systems, currently co-founding Kashin.app to deliver distributed, scalable lending infrastructure using TypeScript and Rust. He has led cross-functional teams of up to 15 engineers through digital transformations in financial services, architecting a new banking stack and taking products from analytics to production. His background blends data science and product leadership at Cabify and Easy, where he optimized supply and pricing across multiple Latin American markets and drove driver-focused roadmaps. Jose combines hands-on systems engineering—having built real-time multiplayer games and operational tooling—with strategic product thinking that aligns ops, data and engineering. Based in Lima, he pairs entrepreneurial rigor from Y Combinator founder training with deep regional market knowledge across Peru, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. Non-obvious: he routinely moves between high-level architecture and low-level implementation, shipping both C++ prototypes and modern TypeScript/Rust services.
