Protocol Engineer at Magic
Portland, Oregon, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlbert Brown is a protocol engineer and physicist with eight years of experience designing secure, scalable blockchain systems and financial back ends. Based in Portland, he has built cross-chain messaging, custom bridges, and tokenomics primitives (including rebasing and VDF-based randomness) and served as principal liaison through multiple Solidity audits and a bug bounty program. His work spans low-level protocol design at Magic to production-grade financial APIs and infrastructure at Eco, combining rigorous research habits from a PhD in physics with pragmatic engineering. He has a strong background in simulations, large-scale data analysis, and optimizing high-performance code—skills he applies to composable multi-chain abstractions and intent-centric solver networks. Colleagues rely on him to translate economic/game-theory models into auditable smart contracts and to maintain secure, open-source codebases with CI and GitHub security practices.
