Darby Martinez
Developer Expert (Chainlink), Darbease
I discovered blockchain technology during the pandemic through practical use of cryptocurrency for cross-border payments. This experience sparked a deep interest in decentralized systems and led me to study the oracle problem, ultimately drawing me into the Chainlink ecosystem. Over time, I transitioned from Community Advocate to Chainlink Developer Expert, contributing to the ecosystem by mentoring developers, leading technical workshops, and supporting educational initiatives. I also served as a podcast editor for Base Space, helping amplify discussions around Web3 innovation. My journey reflects a commitment to bridging traditional systems with verifiable, decentralized technologies that underpin the future of global finance.
