David Akers is a veteran technology leader and CTO with two decades of experience translating emergent technologies into production-scale businesses, currently building Coinsub’s decentralized crypto payment agreements. He combines deep software engineering roots with hands-on blockchain architecture—designing Layer 2 protocols, cross-chain smart contract systems, high-throughput payment rails (including a 100x Polygon speedup), and novel smart-contract module frameworks. His track record spans startups that both soared (a $1.86B acquisition) and taught hard lessons (an SEC action), shaping a pragmatic, risk-aware visionary approach to innovation. David excels at breaking ambitious technical futures into incremental, auditable waypoints that align with business strategy and secure digital assets. Based in Greeneville, Tennessee, he blends enterprise-grade design sensibilities with experimental protocol work, from zkSync-based healthcare solutions to censor-resistant payment networks.
