Michael Lugo is a software engineer and blockchain-focused backend developer with eight years of professional experience and a decade-long personal coding journey that began with Lua and video games. He has led architecture and tech teams to build highly concurrent systems—designing backends that supported 200k simultaneous users and strategies to scale to 500k+ users while cutting DB costs by 95%. As co-founder and CTO of a Web3 startup he delivered cross-chain smart contract solutions (BSC, Polygon, Solana), ERC20/ERC721/ERC1155 token systems, and integrated DApps using Hardhat, Ethers.js and Next.js. Michael pairs hands-on full-stack skills (PHP, Python, Node, React, Next.js) with practical DevOps and production deployments on AWS/Linux, favoring pragmatic, cost-conscious engineering. He’s a motivating leader who prioritizes clean architecture and efficient algorithms to solve complex problems and boost high-value team productivity. Based in Madrid, he’s a persistent self-learner and Web3 enthusiast who brings an unusual combination of gaming-rooted curiosity and production-grade blockchain expertise.
