Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDominic Letz is a Berlin-based founder and CTO with 11 years of experience building mobile, web, and distributed systems focused on privacy and decentralization. As Co-Founder & CTO of Diode.io he’s driving a Web3 architecture that treats end-to-end encryption and distributed hosting as infrastructure rather than apps. His background spans product and technical leadership roles at Nokia and Exosite and deep hands-on engineering across languages and platforms — from Erlang/OTP and native desktop work to AI-driven image tooling in InvokeAI. An active open-source contributor, he’s fixed platform-specific race conditions and implemented native integrations (notifications, taskbar icons, mac/windows webview handling) that reveal an attention to edge-case robustness. Dominic blends product-minded systems design with low-level engineering discipline, often surfacing subtle cross-OS and encoding issues before they reach users.
