Where you least expect, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarBrandon Kase is an experienced software engineer and CTO with 14 years building production systems, currently driving technology and research in agentic engineering out of Florida. He blends front-end polish (notably UI work on MinaProtocol's React-based site) with deep back-end and type-oriented work—porting and extending TypeScript/zk-SNARK frameworks and improving asynchronous primitives in Swift. A Carnegie Mellon computer science graduate, he rides the intersection of cryptography, distributed protocols, and developer ergonomics, favoring strong types and practical tooling. Equally comfortable shipping product code and evolving foundational libraries, he describes himself as someone who "likes types and making things" and is actively prototyping agentic systems publicly.

TypeScript framework for zk-SNARKs and zkApps
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:162 reviews, 28 commits, 6 PRs in 1 year 5 months
Contributions summary:Brandon primarily worked on porting the `snarkyjs` library from a monorepo. They made significant changes to the codebase by updating typechecks and adding a few more types. Furthermore, the user contributed to the development of several data structures and classes related to zkApps, including `Body`, `Events`, and `MerkleList`. These changes suggest a focus on building out the foundational components of the framework.
