Daniel Krawisz is a crypto engineer and Director of Research at the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute with 12 years of experience building Bitcoin-focused software and writing about its economics and technology. Based in Austin, he contributes to open-source Bitcoin infrastructure—improving btcd-related projects—and has a history of backend engineering on projects like Shufflepuff and Monetas' bmd/bmagent. He blends rigorous academic training (MSc Software Engineering, MA Physics) with hands-on development to produce clear, well-edited technical content and visualizations for the Bitcoin community. His work on the Nakamoto Institute site shows attention to content quality and presentation as much as protocol-level detail. Comfortable both authoring influential commentary and shipping backend code, he occupies a rare niche between research, technical writing, and production crypto engineering.
