Santiago Zuluaga is a blockchain ecosystem leader and developer advocate with 4 years of experience driving Web3 adoption across emerging markets from Medellín, Colombia. As Lisk’s Ecosystem Lead and former Global Developer Advocate, he designs educational programs, mentorship and incubation initiatives, and secures grants to help founders ship real-world projects. He founded and scaled the web3.js Ambassador Program and led a multi-country Africa tour of 20+ workshops, connecting hundreds of developers with partners and $12K in hackathon bounties. A hands-on Solidity and JavaScript engineer, he’s contributed to the widely used web3.js library—adding private-key methods, docs improvements, and developer tooling—and built launchpads and anti-Sybil solutions using ZK proofs. Equally comfortable in technical writing, bug bounties and public speaking, Santiago blends product-minded developer relations with pragmatic smart-contract engineering to lower the barrier to blockchain adoption.
