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.
