I'm Fernando Seguim, a software engineer by training and entrepreneur by vocation. I have over 15 years of experience developing digital products, with a strong focus on financial infrastructure for fintechs, neobanks, and companies building embedded financial services.
Today, I’m the founder and CEO of Guardia, a Cloud Native and Open Source Core Banking platform designed to offer high-performance, customizable systems for companies that want to launch and scale financial products with agility, security, and control. Guardia follows an Open Core strategy, combining open technology with enterprise-grade services to drive innovation while keeping costs under control.
Before Guardia, I was a partner and Head of Engineering and Product at Bankly, where I helped scale the core platform and played a key role in its evolution during a series of strategic M&As. I also contributed to the core banking and ledger systems at Nomad and worked as a software engineer at Stone.
I’m passionate about entrepreneurship, political economics, and the intersection between technology and social transformation. I dedicate part of my time to studying the history of financial innovation and political economy to better understand the forces that shape our markets and societies.More...
