Summary
Cory Tanner is a Full Stack Engineer with 11 years of experience building polished frontends, resilient backend systems, and production infrastructure for clients from Apple to Web3 startups. He’s currently one of two engineers at CR3 Labs where he architected a multi-user 3D persistent world, built Next.js/NestJS microservices, an AI-agent SDK, real-time multiplayer, and onchain features like ERC-8004 identity and Merkle reward distribution. Equally at home in Three.js-powered UIs and Solidity contracts, he owns deployments across Docker, AWS, Redis pub/sub, and BullMQ with integrated Stripe and Coinbase billing. Previously he led frontend architecture and UX teams at DockYard and Rebud and shipped data visualizations and real-time feeds at Zapper, demonstrating a consistent focus on accessibility, internationalization, and durable component systems. He cares deeply about shipping well-crafted products accelerated by modern AI tooling and mentors teams to solve hard problems end-to-end. An interesting through-line: he blends traditional frontend craftsmanship (“the person who writes the HTML/CSS/JS”) with blockchain and AI automation at scale.
