He spent seven years at ParaFi Capital as its first hire, running its non-directional and quantitative strategies and building its technology. As Partner and Portfolio Manager, he architected the firm's technology infrastructure and portfolio systems and established ParaFi Technologies, its crypto-infrastructure arm. From 2019 to 2026, ParaFi grew from under $10 million to more than $2 billion in assets, counting many of the world's leading financial institutions among its limited partners. He departed in July 2026 to start a new company.
Born in Mexico City, he moved to the United States at 13 on a hockey scholarship. He graduated from Emory University with a degree in Applied Physics, concentrating in computational physics and machine learning. In 2015, he founded Tenzar Technologies to make AI computing resources available on demand. Coinciding with the launch of Google's TensorFlow, Tenzar delivered cloud-based high-performance computing infrastructure to research institutions, including CERN. After three years, Tenzar wound down following a failed M&A transaction.
In 2018, he joined Reality Shares, an SEC-regulated ETF asset manager and early pioneer of factor-based funds, where he developed quantitative trading strategies and led strategic initiatives, including an early investment in Coinbase Inc.
Today, Kevin invests and builds across capital, compute, and defense.
