Alejandro from Bolivia shares his journey building Polar, an onboarding infrastructure for Stellar. Facing economic crisis and hyperinflation in his home country, he discovered blockchain and stablecoins as a financial survival mechanism. Rather than just learning for himself, he built solutions aimed at developers and communities across Latin America. Polar aims to abstract blockchain complexity with simple UX accessible to both technical and non-technical users. Alejandro discusses the critical importance of social skills and human connection in development work, the value of AI tools in accelerating progress, and his core philosophy: build for people, not machines.
