Nací en Cuba, y desde muy joven sentí una fascinación por la tecnología y las computadoras. Esta pasión me llevó a estudiar Ingeniería Informática, donde descubrí el mundo del software libre, un concepto que cambiaría mi forma de ver la tecnología para siempre. Durante la universidad, comencé a usar Linux, y con el tiempo, Debian se convirtió en mi sistema operativo principal, no solo por su estabilidad y seguridad, sino también por su filosofía de libertad y colaboración.
A lo largo de mi vida profesional, me he especializado en la administración de redes y servidores, trabajando en entornos donde la eficiencia y la confiabilidad son esenciales. Siempre he preferido herramientas de código abierto, ya que creo en la transparencia y en el poder de las comunidades para construir soluciones robustas.
Conocí sobre Bitcoin en 2014, en una época en la que el acceso a Internet en Cuba era extremadamente limitado. Aunque inmediatamente reconocí su potencial como herramienta de libertad financiera, las condiciones tecnológicas del país hicieron que fuera difícil profundizar en su uso. Sin embargo, la semilla quedó plantada, y años más tarde, pude retomar ese interés con más fuerza.
En 2022, mi camino se cruzó con Forte11 y Catrya Juntos, dimos vida a una de las comunidades mas grandes del LNP2PBOT. Este proyecto fue el preludio de algo más grande: a finales de ese mismo año, fundamos Cuba Bitcoin, una comunidad con un fuerte enfoque educativo para promover el conocimiento y la adopción de Bitcoin en Cuba.
Desde 2024, trabajo activamente en el proyecto, encargándome de desarrollar implementar y mantener la infraestructura técnica que sustentan los servicios brindados por Cuba Bitcoin.

I’m a seasoned network infrastructure architect with over two decades of hands-on experience in data networking, cloud architecture, and protocol design. I’ve spent much of my career helping global organizations build scalable, secure, and high-performance systems but my passion lies in rethinking the foundations of communication itself.

As a lifetime CCIE and a builder deeply aligned with the Bitcoin ethos, I believe the Internet’s legacy stack - especially TCP/IP - needs a clean break. My current work on the Bitcoin Communication Network Protocol (BCNP) is a practical step toward a future where communication is as decentralized and sovereign as money.

I see BCNP as an open, MAC-address-based protocol stack that could one day serve the Lightning and Bitcoin ecosystem, replacing the Internet’s central choke points with peer-driven, prefix-routed autonomy.
