Summary
Rodrigo Arias is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO specializing in payments infrastructure and AI agents, with over 17 years of software engineering experience driving product-focused solutions for LATAM. He built Paydece from a validated P2P crypto product (Cueva) into a B2B payments platform that leverages stablecoins to bypass traditional banking frictions and raised a $2.2M seed round. Rodrigo architects secure, scalable AWS systems, leads incident response and Web3 hardening, and integrates wallet and custody providers for enterprise operations. He designed and shipped NanoClaw, a live virtual CFO agent integrated with Odoo that handles Argentina’s complex multi-exchange-rate accounting, anomaly detection and AFIP compliance. A proponent of lean “Product Engineers” teams, he deliberately chose a minimalist AI stack (Vercel AI SDK + Claude + MCP) over heavier frameworks to optimize reliability and cost. Based in Vicente López, Buenos Aires, he blends deep hands-on engineering (Solidity, .NET, Next.js) with commercial instincts from freelance product work, positioning AI agents as a go-to-market lever for finance leaders.
