Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenedict Chan is a seasoned technology executive and CTO with 11 years of professional experience building scalable, secure platforms for crypto and AI-native products. He scaled BitGo’s engineering and product organization from a handful to 250 people while helping the company process roughly 15% of global Bitcoin transaction volume daily, then led engineering at Chainlink to advance decentralized oracle infrastructure. Now based in Singapore, he’s focused on collaborative product development for AI-native teams and is deeply interested in applied AI, agent architectures, and the intersection of software and robotics. A hands-on engineer early in his career (including contributions to the BitGoJS SDK), he pairs product vision with low-level delivery and has repeatedly launched institutional-grade cryptographic and financial services systems. Colleagues know him for marrying operational rigor with pragmatic experimentation across startups and large platforms.
