Carl Hua is a blockchain-focused technology leader and investor with nine years of engineering and product experience building high-performance distributed systems. Currently a General Partner at Reforge and long-time Ripple advisor, he has led DeFi engineering, co-founded a C++-based first-layer blockchain (Logos Network), and worked on mission-critical embedded and flight software at JPL and Northrop Grumman. Hands-on in backend and DevOps, he’s contributed to the widely used rippled XRP Ledger daemon—fixing CI builds and managing releases—which reflects a rare blend of low-level systems expertise and release engineering. Equally comfortable in fund/CTO roles and hands-on implementation, Carl combines a systems engineering MS from UCLA with a penchant for "raw pointers" and pragmatic, performance-first design.
