Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrey Sabelnikov is a blockchain systems engineer and entrepreneur with nearly a decade of hands-on experience architecting high-performance cryptocurrency cores and distributed systems. As co-founder and lead researcher at Zano and founder of Boolberry, he designed novel consensus mechanisms (a hybrid PoW/PoS) and advanced core features including multisignature support, prunable attachments, and a memory-hard Wild Keccak PoW. A C++ specialist and STL/Boost evangelist, he excels at multithreaded, asynchronous back-end engineering, database abstractions (Postgres/Cassandra), and networking (boost::asio), having written many custom libraries and test simulation engines. His background includes building CryptoNote from scratch and pioneering ideas like signatures pruning before they became mainstream, showing a mix of theoretical rigor and practical deployment experience. Based in Tivat, Montenegro, he combines deep systems-level expertise with product thinking—repeatedly turning protocol research into live projects, listings, and migration tools. He also has early AI research experience (neural nets, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms), which informs his analytical approach to protocol design and stress testing.
