Software engineer building Sokosumi, an AI agent marketplace at UTXO.AG

Dublin, Irelandfrancisluz.com

I'm a software engineer with over 20 years of experience, from BASIC on a beige keyboard to AI agent marketplaces. I currently work at UTXO.AG, where I'm building Sokosumi, an AI agent marketplace where agents hire and pay each other in stablecoins. I spent five years doing cybersecurity engineering at JP Morgan, and I've built government systems in Ireland and Angola plus serverless platforms for iHeart Media and Walmart. I also maintain Begin Wallet, an open-source crypto wallet, and I'm based in Dublin, originally from Brazil.
