We are currently a small team of 2 members that have known each other for 12 years and worked together for long.

David Caldeira, cofounder and backend developer, studied Mechanical Engineering at Portugal’s top engineering university. Involved in crypto since 2021, with two years of experience as a freelancer in Solidity smart contracts, with different roles on token teams from CTO to Cofounder.

Duarte Baltazar, cofounder and frontend developer, studied Economics and has a Master's in Business. Former advisor for banking institutions in Portugal, specializing in non-performing loans. Involved in crypto since 2021, with experience in founding roles, freelancing, and development.

We are on an initial stage and as in any other early stage small startup, each member is doing a bit of everything. David has been more focused on developing the smart contracts, and Duarte more on doing the frontend of the dapp. Currently, both are working on the next steps to drive Vortex to its launch.
