Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEvan Shapiro is a founder and product-minded engineer with 14 years of experience building data-driven products and developer tooling. As CEO and Co-Founder of Dataline Labs he helps organisations onboard and expose internal datasets via a no-code/low-code platform, delivering value within minutes through a managed cloud service. His background blends product management and finance experience—from PropTech and private equity to HSBC—with hands-on engineering contributions to open-source projects, including front-end fixes for Mozilla’s Gaia and core blockchain components for Mina Protocol. That mix of enterprise process knowledge, MSc-level finance training, and low-level backend work gives him a rare ability to translate complex technical constraints into fast, operational products. He’s especially adept at reducing developer overhead and accelerating productisation of internal data assets.
