Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCory Levinson is a technical lead and software consultant with 15+ years across data analytics, infrastructure, and product management, and a decade of hands-on engineering experience. He builds technical tooling and machine-readable data standards for carbon and biodiversity markets, currently leading development for Carbon To Sea’s OAE Data Management Protocol at Submarine Scientific while pursuing an MS in Soils & Biogeochemistry at UC Davis. Cory combines blockchain and peer-to-peer systems expertise—evidenced by protocol-buffer refactors in the widely used Cosmos SDK—with pragmatic data engineering and semantic web integration for open-systems carbon removal pathways. His background spans startups to established platforms (SoundCloud, Regen Network), where he has led cross-organizational platform roadmaps, data platform migrations, and productized data standards. Comfortable moving between low-level code and high-level strategy, he focuses on auditable, interoperable data systems that accelerate scientific understanding and market integrity. An unconventional blend of music/arts research and quantitative training informs his collaborative, research-driven approach to engineering complex socio-technical systems.

Contributions summary:Cory primarily focused on updating and refactoring protocol buffer files and definitions within the Cosmos SDK. Their work involved consolidating proto files, updating code generation scripts, and restructuring the file layout to align with best practices, including the use of `buf.build` naming conventions. This included modifications to `crypto/types/crypto.pb.go` and `types/cosmos.pb.go` files and restructuring proto packages to improve code organization, which demonstrates an understanding of Go and protocol buffer best practices. These changes likely involved modifying core functionality of the blockchain framework.
