Web3 Infrastructure Architect & Co-Founder at Openverse, building Layer 0 and cross-chain infrastructure designed to enable seamless interoperability across blockchain networks, metaverses, and Web2/Web3 environments.
Openverse focuses on foundational infrastructure that allows tokens, NFTs, and data to move securely between chains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, using protocol-level interoperability rather than application-level bridges.
My responsibilities span architecture, technical leadership, and ecosystem representation, including:
Designing and leading Layer 0 and cross-chain protocol architecture
Developing interoperability standards for value and message transfer across chains
Contributing to protocol security, cryptographic design, and infrastructure scalability
Acting as a technical advisor and external-facing representative for partners and ecosystem participants
Leading technical discussions and AMAs on X (Twitter) Spaces
Actively engaging with and supporting the community on Discord
Communicating protocol vision, architecture, and roadmap through X (@florin_crypto_) and ecosystem channels
In addition to core infrastructure development, I serve as a technical foreign advisor, helping partners, developers, and community members understand and integrate Openverse infrastructure within their own blockchain and Web3 initiatives.
