Let's explore how Bitcoin scaling is being approached with OPCAT. Starkware is at the forefront of this innovation, potentially making StarKnet the first network with access to both Ethereum and Bitcoin. This will be incredibly interesting.
I'm Omar Espejel, with a background in Blockchain Engineering and Developer Advocacy at Starknet Foundation and Starkware. Previously, I also worked at Hugging Face.
At Starkware and the Starknet Foundation, I helped developers navigate Cairo and Starknet technologies, spearheaded the Starknet Book development, and presented at key conferences in Europe and America, including Devcon 2022 and Devconnect 2023. I've led hackathons and edited the Starknet book, a major resource in the Starknet community. This role deepened my blockchain expertise and honed my ability to demystify complex tech.
At Hugging Face, I developed courses on Transformers and Gradio, focusing on sentence transformers and the fastai library, aiming to make machine learning more accessible and innovative.
