Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Winer is a veteran technology leader and hands-on CTO with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale blockchain and crypto products from engineering first principles. He has led engineering teams at Gemini, scaled NFT marketplace Nifty Gateway post-acquisition, and ran Pagoda as the core engineering arm of the NEAR ecosystem, contributing to multiple spinouts and core infrastructure. Now focused on independent AI research and leading NEAR AI, he blends product-minded strategy with low-level systems experience—evidenced by earlier backend contributions to the Java Ethereum client ethereumj. Based in New York, he pairs operator experience at high-growth crypto companies with teaching and course development in blockchain, bringing both organizational leadership and code-level fluency. Notably, he has repeatedly moved between building core protocol pieces and shipping user-facing marketplaces, a rare combination that helps bridge developer ecosystems and mainstream product adoption.
