Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCian Hatton is a software engineer with 11 years’ experience building back-end and cloud-native systems, currently focused on Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol development. He has production experience authoring Kubernetes operators for MongoDB and contributing to high-profile open-source projects like mongodb-kubernetes-operator and cosmos/ibc-go, improving operator scaling, automation, and auditing capabilities. At Interchain and now Binary Builders he has implemented pragmatic Golang solutions—adding sender metadata to token events and gRPC queries for escrow addresses—to make blockchain integrations more debuggable and auditable. His background spans engineering roles at MongoDB and Oracle plus earlier international teaching and analytics work, reflecting durable adaptability and strong communication skills. Based in Ireland, Cian blends systems-level thinking with operator and DevOps expertise to ship reliable distributed systems. An understated strength is his knack for surfacing operational signals (e.g., FCV handling and sender info) that make complex systems easier to operate.
