Jose User
@joseuser5
I design secure AI, FinTech, Web3, and cybersecurity platforms from MVP to scalable operation.
What I'm looking for
I founded deco31416 to design and build AI, FinTech, Web3, and cybersecurity platforms, taking products from idea validation through architecture, automation, launch, and scalability.
Across XDX Chain, BSP Ecosystem, Twin Exchange, and Nortegiros, I've led product and technical architecture for exchanges, wallets, P2P systems, payments, remittances, custody, trading, and DeFi. I have managed teams of up to 30 developers and connect product discovery, roadmaps, software architecture, and real operational needs.
I'm also building AI systems for trading and decision intelligence at AlterHedge and delivering Red Team, pentesting, API security, and Secure SDLC work at KrknLabs. My approach combines systems, security, business, and operational thinking to create products that can operate, sell, and scale.
