Adrian Soghoian is a Principal Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building product-grade systems across fintech, digital health, and privacy-preserving technologies, currently leading engineering work at Circle in New York. He has a track record of founding and scaling products—from co-founding Trigger Finance and launching Circle Invest to driving platform risk engineering and helping establish Circle’s New York office. Adrian took a purposeful detour into public-interest technology as a principal engineer at The Commons Project, shaping open standards and verifiable health credentials like SMART Health Cards used during the COVID-19 response. He combines rigorous academic training in mathematics and computer science with hands-on startup grit, consulting, and advisory experience through his boutique firm Farrian Software. Not obvious from titles alone, he moves fluidly between product-building, standards design, and platform risk work, making him effective at shipping pragmatic, privacy-minded systems that intersect public sector and financial use cases.
