Pepi Martinez

Hi, I'm Pepi 👋

Curious hacker turned Software Engineer. I love building things and exploring the edge of what is possible.

About

At 5, I connected to dial-up internet and became fascinated with computers. By 9, I built my first computer to play video games. At 13, I started writing malware, finding joy in outsmarting antivirus software. At 15, I shifted my focus to full stack web apps. By, 16 I bought my first Bitcoin, discovering a passion for decentralized permissionless networks and I haven't looked back since.
