AI Engineer / Tech Lead
2017 — PresentFolderIT
I lead engineering inside client companies, building their products alongside their teams. I also head FolderIT's internal AI team, building the harnesses and tooling that AI agents run on.
FOUNDER & AI ENGINEER
Federico Madoery
I build AI tools and agent infrastructure that power other companies' platforms — and I've co-founded two startups along the way. Ten years getting things into production, from healthcare messaging to on-chain credentials.
02 / About
From Gálvez to two Web3 ventures
I grew up in Gálvez, a small town in Santa Fe, and I've spent close to ten years building software. These days I split my time between Santa Fe and Miami.
In 2022 I co-founded TheBadge, a way to verify credentials on Ethereum. The same team then built OpenGrano: instead of the multi-year loan a bank would sell them, Argentine farmers get one season funded by crypto investors who take a share of the yield.
At FolderIT I lead engineering for client companies, working alongside their teams to build their products, and I head the internal AI team, which these days means building harnesses and tooling for AI agents. One of those clients is OhMD, where I've spent four years on a HIPAA-compliant healthcare platform now used by more than 1,200 clinics. For four years I taught at UTN FRSF, covering Data Structures, Mobile Development and Cloud Development, and standing in front of a class is what sharpened how I explain ideas, break down problems, and lead a team.

03 / Experience
Where I've worked
Senior Software Engineer
2022 — PresentOhMD
Four years on a HIPAA-compliant platform that lets clinics reach patients over SMS, voice, video and email, now used by more than 1,200 clinics, hospitals and health systems. On Elixir and Phoenix, I helped build the secure messaging and the AI engine that classifies incoming patient messages, alongside the frontend platform. Client work via FolderIT.
Co-founder · CPO
2024 — 2025OpenGrano
One season funded by crypto investors worldwide and settled at harvest, with the investor taking a share of the yield instead of charging interest. Grain first, designed to extend to cattle. Built on Avalanche.
Co-founder · CPO
2022 — 2025TheBadge
Real-world credentials you can verify on Ethereum, with disputes settled through Kleros. I designed and wrote the verification systems behind it.
Tech Lead
Earlier roleEscalante Cloud
Real-estate lead routing on an event-driven AWS stack, deciding which agent takes a new lead in under a minute. I also built the generator behind a million-page SEO site. Client work via FolderIT.
LST Developer
Earlier roleMacmillan Learning
Study apps on Macmillan's e-learning platform, one of them serving around a million requests a day, with interfaces built to pass real screen readers. Client work via FolderIT.
Software Developer
2015 — 2017Freelance
Where it started, before FolderIT: React Native banking apps — virtual wallets, remote loans — plus web work in React and Node.js.
04 / Startups & Ventures
Two companies, one crew
Two companies, one co-founder beside me the whole way: Agustín Pane. Both chase the same conviction — that the things people trust most, credentials and capital, work better on open rails than behind a gatekeeper.
TheBadge
Diplomas, licenses, certifications: the proof of who you are and what you can do, locked in PDFs and private databases, easy to fake and impossible to carry. TheBadge makes them yours: portable, tamper-proof, and provable to anyone. No central authority decides what counts. The community curates, every credential stays open to challenge, and the incentives do the rest: reviewers earn by catching fakes, and anyone who submits one loses more than they stood to gain.
That the proof of who you are should be yours to carry, and verifiable without asking anyone's permission.
Kleros, the decentralized arbitration protocol, funded us with a grant to build on their court, the same juries that settle every challenge raised on TheBadge.
OpenGrano
A grain producer's biggest asset is a harvest that doesn't exist yet. OpenGrano turns that future yield into an on-chain asset global crypto capital can fund directly. A bank would sell them a fixed-rate loan that outlives the season it paid for and costs the same whether the year was good or ruinous. OpenGrano funds one season, settles at harvest, and pays the investor a share of what actually came out of the ground. Grain first, built to extend to cattle.
That financing should take the shape of the thing it funds, and whoever puts up the capital should be on the same side of the season as the farmer.
Avalanche took us into Codebase, about 15 projects out of roughly 500, and then into its Buenos Aires Innovation House alongside partners like INTA.

05 / Open Source
Open-source work
A few things I've put out in the open — alongside a stack of private AI and agent experiments that usually start here.
coderecall
A local-first MCP server that gives a coding agent a memory of your repo: hybrid code search plus a knowledge store, in one SQLite file, no API keys.
caret-coordinates-hook
A tiny React hook that returns the pixel position of the text caret. Handy for floating menus, mention pickers, and inline tooling.
Web3 open source
Smart contracts, SDKs, and subgraphs from TheBadge and OpenGrano, plus fixes pushed upstream to the libraries they depend on.
