Today I am speaking with Juan Manuel Rodriguez Defago, Blockchain Developer at GraphOps. Long-time listeners of the GRTiQ Podcast may recall Juan's insightful conversation back in April 2021 for Episode 4, where he provided a glimpse into his personal background and journey into web3 and The Graph.
Since then, Juan has embarked on a new chapter of his journey by joining GraphOps, a core dev team dedicated to advancing The Graph ecosystem. There are myriad reasons why I was eager to reconnect with Juan. Not only is he widely regarded and actively engaged within The Graph community, but his transition to working on a core dev team presents a fascinating narrative worth exploring. Despite assuming different roles across various teams within The Graph ecosystem over the years, Juan has remained steadfastly committed to the protocol, a testament to his unwavering dedication.
In this interview, Juan shares anecdotes from the early days of The Graph, offering unique insights into his work at GraphOps and shedding light on pivotal initiatives such as Graph Horizon and New Era that are shaping the trajectory of the ecosystem.
