Top SchoolDaniel Kim is a founder and systems engineer with 11 years of experience building distributed infrastructure and resilient backend platforms across e-commerce, mobility, and blockchain. He led critical platform work at Kakao Mobility and Coupang, co-founded Fragmetric Labs to architect a Solana-native restaking protocol that reached ~$300M TVL and raised $12M, and served as CTO of a TIPS-selected startup designing RL-based training models. Now at LayerNines he’s focused on on-device adaptive AI and continuous learning, exploring how active compression and multi-timescale prediction give rise to intelligence. Comfortable shipping full-stack systems (from Solana programs and Rust services to cloud-native backends and SDKs), he combines deep production experience with experimental research instincts. Based in Seoul and a Seoul National University CSE alumnus, he quietly bridges cutting-edge crypto primitives with pragmatic, battle-tested engineering.
