About Me

My name is Denis Jesus Palma Abanto and I was first SRE at Solana, I built all of Solana's infrastructure from scratch when it was a 10-person team in early 2021. Through dedication and expertise, I was promoted twice—to Senior SRE and then to Lead SRE—managing a team of five.

With over a decade of experience in building and securing critical infrastructure, I've developed a deep understanding of blockchain technology and the unique challenges of Web3 development.

At Pixel Labs, I lead a team of passionate engineers dedicated to building robust, secure, and innovative protocols on the Solana blockchain.
