Hi, I'm Lucas Saldanha. I'm a Blockchain Protocol Engineer at Consensys, where I work on Teku and the Ethereum protocol itself. It's the kind of work where a single line of code can ripple across a global network of nodes, which keeps things interesting.
Over 10+ years of backend engineering I've developed a soft spot for systems architecture, high-scale distributed systems, and the particular thrill of shipping fast with a small team behind my back. Mostly coding in Java these days, with whatever else the problem demands. I've learned that the best tool is usually the one I can debug at 2 a.m.
When I log off, I'm probably still staring at a screen, just with a controller in my hands instead of a keyboard. I'm working through a backlog of games that's grown faster than I can clear it.
In my free time I like to play video games (especially old video games), read books and watch movies. I am passionate about technology and the Internet.
You can find me on Github
Nice meeting you! :)
