Modern Fintech Landing Page

High-impact crypto-investment landing page that communicates trust, simplicity, and performance. This project was built as a fully responsive marketing site for Block Capital. The challenge was to merge a premium financial feel with startup-style modern design.

About me

I'm Ignacio, Chilean 🇨🇱 and a Computer Science Engineer from the Federico Santa María Technical University. Everything I've learned in tech has been self-taught, always finding a way to solve problems and create solutions.

I was the CTO of Block Capital, a fintech startup that I helped build from scratch into a full-stack product. That experience brought me to Valencia, Spain 🇪🇸 after being selected by Lanzadera, one of Europe's top accelerators.

My path hasn't been linear: I went from learning on my own in Chile to leading projects and people in Europe. That mix of being self-taught and an entrepreneur defines my way of working: always looking for solutions, with the conviction that every challenge is an opportunity for growth.
