Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Lara is a blockchain engineer with 17 years of software experience, currently contributing to Osmosis DEX from the Greater Stockholm area. He blends deep backend and systems experience—from early Linux sysadmin and Django contributions (including a Google Summer of Code patch now in Django) to modern Cosmos-based blockchain development. At Osmosis and on Juno he implemented and integrated IBC rate-limiting and IBC hooks, worked on upgrade handlers and CosmWasm contracts, and resolved complex SDK dependency and upgrade challenges. Comfortable across Python, distributed systems, and smart contract tooling, he pairs pragmatic engineering with an entrepreneur’s mindset informed by a Master’s in Entrepreneurship. An oft-overlooked strength is his long track record of shipping infrastructure-level fixes that keep live systems interoperable and upgradable.
