Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbhishek Jain is a seasoned technology leader and current CTO based in Palo Alto with 14 years of experience building large-scale consumer and blockchain products. He moved from leading cross-platform engineering teams at WhatsApp and Facebook—where he drove media, payments, and discovery efforts across iOS, Android, and backend—to shaping ecosystem strategy and product/infrastructure for Tezos and now Bullitt. Comfortable at the intersection of product, infra, and org-building, he has repeatedly taken teams from zero-to-one and scaled them to 30+ engineers while managing partnerships with major platform owners. His background in mobile performance, encrypted streaming and blockchain infrastructure gives him a rare blend of low-level engineering depth and strategic ecosystem thinking. Notably, he transitioned from optimizing billions-user consumer systems to advising foundations on roadmap and budget, reflecting both technical credibility and governance-savvy leadership.
