David Huber is a senior software engineer and former computational physicist with a PhD in high-energy astroparticle physics and nine years of experience solving computationally and economically complex problems. He specializes in web3 systems—smart contracts, backend architectures, and on-chain generative art—and has shipped production infrastructure that handled millions in primary and secondary revenue and powered >11 collections. As a founding engineer at echo.xyz (acquired by Coinbase) and now at Coinbase, he blends low-level optimization (C++, Go, Solidity) with scalable backend design and security-first practices informed by repeated third-party audits. His academic work on relativistic fluid models and HPC optimization (parallel runs on >12k cores and a PRACE grant) gives him uncommon rigor in performance-sensitive engineering. David is a main author of the Ethier library and co-author on EIPs, demonstrating active open-source and standards contributions that bridge research and product. Outside code, he pursues on-chain generative art and crafts espresso, revealing a taste for precision and creativity beyond engineering.
