Summary
Arran Schlosberg is an engineering leader with 15 years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning software, medicine, and actuarial science, currently serving as SVP, Head of Engineering at Ava Labs. He combines hands-on systems programming (notably in Go) with strategic architecture work—most visibly by overhauling Avalanche C-Chain’s EVM stack to cut upgrade windows from weeks to hours and by co-inventing Streaming Asynchronous Execution to boost chain throughput 6–10x. Arran has shipped high-impact public-good infrastructure too, designing Google Health’s privacy-preserving geo-indexing used in early COVID mobility reporting and briefing UK government advisory bodies. As a founder and CTO he led a boutique blockchain studio through acquisition, and earlier built medical-research matching infrastructure that helped attract over A$25M in funding. He keeps one foot in research—MPhil in Bioinformatics and work across ML, geospatial risk analytics, and mechanism design—while remaining an active coder and Go mentor. Based in the UK, he’s comfortable turning domain complexity (clinical, financial, or cryptoeconomic) into robust, maintainable code and repeatable engineering processes.
