Summary
Baz Karam is a seasoned software engineer and product leader with 11 years of experience building complex, production-grade systems for finance, crypto, real estate, and decentralized applications. As Managing Partner & Product Engineering Lead at The Crypto Fund, he engineered an end-to-end platform that replaces fragmented fund operations—NAV valuation, accounting, investor reporting, tax filing, and real-time portfolio dashboards—into a single auditable system. Previously he led client-side architecture for Augur, making early Ethereum UX behave like a normal web app by solving wallet interaction and transaction-state challenges without a traditional backend. His background includes building rich interactive experiences (3D book-making at Blurb) and mastering large-scale telecom and financial data products, demonstrating a rare mix of frontend craftsmanship and backend systems thinking. Colleagues rely on him to turn messy legacy codebases into maintainable, feature-forward products while preserving accurate, auditable workflows. Based in the U.S., he combines cryptography-aware decentralized systems experience with practical product delivery for regulated financial operations.
