Hi, I'm Bruno.

I've spent the last decade building startups as a generalist operator, while also developing a strong technical skillset. I am currently the Chief of Staff at Aztec Labs. Previously, I was the Chief Operating Officer of Pluto, where we built applied cryptography tooling for application developers.

I built a hobby consumer project for people who like to cook called Olea. I also occassionally write long-form posts on my blog.

I studied finance and economics at the University of Florida and received an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania. These days, I've continued my learning by following a rough personal curriculum focused on a mix of computer science, cryptography, and a bunch of other unrelated topics I find interesting, like longevity, space exploration, and finance.

I also like to cook (see my running list of recipes), play golf, and hack on some hobby projects.
