Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGabe Cohen is a pragmatic CTO and engineering leader with 11 years building privacy-first, interoperable systems across startups and standards bodies. He led ReBld’s engineering from 0→1—scaling the team, shipping the backend and web app, and supporting the company’s first 500 customers after an HF0 incubator-backed seed round. Gabe has deep expertise in decentralized identity and verifiable credentials, having co-chaired the W3C DID Working Group and shaped specs across W3C, DIF, OIDF, and IETF while leading backend work on World ID. He pairs hands-on delivery (architecture, integrations, observability) with standards leadership from roles at TBD/Block and Workday, bringing both product and protocol perspective. Currently driving on-chain treasury and stablecoin payments as CTO at Stable Sea, he focuses on practical, human-centric systems that respect privacy. Outside engineering he’s a decentralization enthusiast who enjoys finding the next great pizza and walking his dog Denali.
