I’m Francesco — my main fo­cus right now is build­ing Phantom as co-founder and CTO.

Previously, I was a tech lead at at 0x build­ing the 0x-api, among other things. Prior to that, I worked on search at Yelp as a full-stack and iOS en­gi­neer. I have ex­pe­ri­ence build­ing prod­ucts, APIs, “dApps”, pro­to­cols, au­to­mated trad­ing bots, data pipelines and more.

In my free time you’ll find me hack­ing, run­ning, lift­ing, schem­ing, read­ing, or in the meta­verse. Besides that, I en­joy cre­at­ing and re­leas­ing side-pro­jects, some of which you can see in the pro­jects page. If you’re in­ter­ested in col­lab­o­rat­ing, don’t hes­i­tate to reach out.

I’m also into star­tups and ob­sessed with crypto.

I stud­ied Computer Science at Duke University and am from Milan, Italy orig­i­nally.
