About
Diego Escalona
Lead Solution Engineer
Hello there, I'm a passionate Lead Solution Engineer with over 7 years of experience in blockchain and distributed ledger technologies. My journey began in 2018 at Telefonica R&D, where I dove deep into the world of Web3 and never looked back.
What drives me is the potential of blockchain technology to solve real-world problems. From building self-sovereign identity solutions that give users control over their digital lives, to architecting enterprise-grade systems that process millions of transactions securely, I love turning complex technical challenges into elegant solutions.
When I'm not building the future of Web3, you'll find me contributing to open-source projects, mentoring developers entering the blockchain space, or exploring the latest developments in zero-knowledge proofs and decentralized identity.
Based in Madrid, I work with teams across the globe, believing that the best innovations come from diverse perspectives and collaborative efforts.
