Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlberto Granzotto is a Berlin-based software engineer with 16 years of experience building decentralized systems, blockchain protocols, networking stacks and privacy-preserving open source platforms. He has combined hands-on engineering (from Brave front-end tweaks to BigchainDB backend and BFT consensus integration) with product and startup leadership since founding Urlist and early work at ascribe.io. His recent roles span building legally compliant DAOs, privacy-first community platforms and investigative tooling for algorithmic transparency like Facebook Tracking Exposed. Alberto blends multidisciplinary skills across TypeScript, Go, Solidity and embedded Python, and he designs projects that give people agency over work and governance rather than just technology. An MSc in Computer Science with HCI focus and a track record of staging blockchain-based alternate reality games at major conferences reflect his interest in human-centered, provocative uses of decentralization.
