A unique combination of
crypto, regulation, and Spanish.
I'm a transactional corporate attorney with a practice built around digital assets and financial technology. My clients are companies building next-generation payment infrastructure—stablecoin rails, cross-border remittance platforms, crypto ATM networks, and payment processors integrating blockchain technology.
Offices in Miami, Florida and Medellín, Colombia. I bring a rare combination: deep experience in U.S. financial regulation (Bank Secrecy Act, securities law, tax code), I speak Spanish, and hands-on cybersecurity training from the SANS Institute.
I've published in Bloomberg Tax and other major legal publications. I've conducted bilingual compliance audits where I interviewed teams in both English and Spanish. I understand the technology, the regulation, and the culture—a combination that is almost impossible to find in one attorney.
When I'm not practicing law, you'll find me creating content on YouTube, exploring Colombia with my family, or diving deeper into the intersection of financial regulation and emerging technology.
