Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnthony Alaribe is a Staff Software Engineer and serial founder based in Berlin with 11+ years of hands-on experience building high-performance distributed systems and developer tools. He co-founded Monoscope and built Timefusion, a Postgres-protocol timeseries database separating storage and compute, and pioneered Merkle-tree based API regression detection and sub-millisecond wavelet-tree anomaly detection for real-time monitoring. Anthony has led engineering at scale—driving systems at Delivery Hero that handled millions of requests per minute, saving millions via bespoke geocoding and caching—and grew engineering teams and guilds while mentoring hundreds of Go developers. He is an active open-source contributor to notable projects like Parity’s Substrate and Polkadot SDK, adding robust asset-management and benchmarking features to core blockchain infrastructure. Known for combining deep systems craft (Rust, Go, Haskell) with practical product thinking, he also bootstrapped developer tooling to thousands of users across diverse language SDKs.
