Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBob Glickstein is an established software engineer and technical leader with nearly three decades of experience building high-performance systems, co-founding IMDb and later shaping critical infrastructure at Google, Chain/Interstellar, and Coinbase. He blends deep systems and protocol expertise—authoring a clean-room implementation and definitive explainer of the Stellar Consensus Protocol and learning Rust to build ZkVM—with hands-on performance wins like a 40% Stellar bootstrap speedup. Comfortable in startups and large teams, he has led engineering efforts from single-handed mail systems at Danger to product- and revenue-driving features at YouTube. Based in San Rafael, he seeks opportunities to mentor and lead smart teams tackling meaningful problems where robust engineering matters. An often-unsung trait: he repeatedly turns research-grade protocols into practical, production-ready implementations.
