Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvangelos Pappas is a seasoned engineering leader and protocol architect with 18 years of experience building distributed systems, AI infrastructure, and blockchain protocols. He designed Basilica, a production GPU compute platform that powered the decentralized Covenant-72B LLM pre-training run (72B parameters, 1.1T tokens) and invented a trustless GPU verification protocol and custom P2P stack to achieve datacentre-grade performance on permissionless hardware. A three-time CTO exitmaker and former technical editor at Manning, he blends hands-on systems engineering in Rust and Python with product and organisational leadership, having led teams of up to 40 engineers. His background spans cloud-native data platforms, sovereign multi-tenant architectures, and realtime billing/observability systems that sustained 99.98% uptime across anonymous global node fleets. He contributes to rust-libp2p and go-ethereum and brings a rare combination of research co-authorship and production delivery to decentralised AI and blockchain projects. Based in Edinburgh, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a track record of shipping novel primitives where there was no prior art.
