Brock Elmore is a blockchain-focused software leader and entrepreneur with eight years of hands-on experience building and architecting decentralized finance infrastructure. As co-founder of multiple startups and Lead Architect at Nascent, he blends quantitative trading experience from a quant/HFT fund with deep EVM toolchain expertise. His open-source contributions span high-impact projects like Foundry and Forge—adding cheatcodes, EVM adapters, and testing primitives—and improvements to core protocols such as Yam and Vyper, signaling strong backend and protocol-level skills. Brock pairs rigorous testing and automation work (Solmate test stabilization, memory brutalizers) with deployment and rebase logic for live economic systems, a combination that helps bridge research and production. Based in San Diego and Wharton-trained in OPIM and statistics, he brings an uncommon mix of product-facing startup leadership, low-level smart contract engineering, and quantitative instincts.
