Senior Software Engineer · 15 yrs · AI agents + financial/on-chain data

Ivan Alberquilla

I build LLM agent systems on financial and on-chain data. 15+ years spanning TradFi integration (BBVA, BNP Paribas, Santander) and deep Ethereum engineering.

The Project Vault

Years built and engineered to drive DeFi forward and make it more accessible. From abstraction layers to AI-powered analytics.

open-allocator — Agentic DeFi Allocator

Open Source

Agent-operated, policy-bounded DeFi yield allocator on the 1Tx API. Two-plane design: an agentic research plane proposes weights; a deterministic, policy-gated execution plane validates and signs. Gasless agent execution (Safe + ERC-4337, gas paid in USDC) verified end-to-end on Base and Arbitrum mainnet.

1Tx — DeFi Abstraction

Founder

A true abstraction layer that compresses multi-step DeFi yield strategies into single atomic transactions. Built on Uniswap V4 hooks. An agent validates historical yield, builds risk/return-optimized portfolios, and rebalances automatically. Uniswap Hookathon UHI8.

Pond3r — Portfolio-Building Agent

Founder

An agent that turns a plain-language investment goal into a portfolio you can defend: intent → universe → weights → evidence → rebalance rule. The agent layer interprets the brief and builds the candidate universe; a deterministic Python compute layer runs the backtests — frozen strategy recipes, backtest-window selection, a realistic cost model, robustness checks — so an allocation is reproducible rather than prompt-dependent. Eval harness over the agent workflow. Grew out of the earlier Pond3r research platform: stateful LangGraph agents with Postgres checkpointing that analyze on-chain data, track yield, and generate investment-ready reports, on end-to-end GCP infrastructure (BigQuery ingestion, Cloud Run, LLM-powered scheduled jobs).

Filecoin Plus Registry

Team Lead

Built the Filecoin Plus registry at Protocol Labs. Led the team, developed the app, and created bots automating GitHub requests connected to smart contracts.

DAO Treasury (Libree)

Founder

Plugin system on Aragon OS enabling DAOs to execute Uniswap swaps, provide liquidity, and earn yield on Aave through governance votes.

Aave Liquidation Bot

Open Source

Widely-forked reference implementation of an Aave liquidation bot from the early DeFi era — a didactic project many builders learned liquidations from. 368 stars, 90 forks.

NFT-Backed Loans (Aave)

Grant

Aave community grant to integrate Nevermined with Aave — enabling NFTs as loan collateral using credit delegation.

Career Architecture

A journey through traditional finance, enterprise integration, blockchain infrastructure, and AI-powered DeFi products.

Co-founder & CTO
Pond3r → 1Tx

LLM agent systems (LangGraph, OpenCode & Pi SDKs) for on-chain analysis and autonomous investing. 1Tx: a DeFi abstraction layer on Uniswap v4 hooks with a yield agent that builds risk/return-optimized portfolios and rebalances automatically. End-to-end GCP: ingestion pipelines, Cloud Run, LLM-powered scheduled jobs.
