Senior🎓
Top SchoolGreg Taschuk is a seasoned software engineer and blockchain architect with 11 years of experience, currently serving as Director, Blockchain Foundation Architect at Fidelity in Seattle. He helped build Balancer V2 from the ground up—contributing both frontend and Solidity-based backend work for an AMM that now manages billions in assets—and has deep hands-on experience with merkle-tree claim systems, subgraphs, and ERC-4626/DeFi pool mechanics. Greg combines systems-level engineering (from kernel research and clustered compute early in his career) with product-focused delivery across startups and enterprise, having led engineering at TruSet and served on integrations teams at Balancer. An autodidact and active open-source contributor, he bridges protocol design, smart-contract development, and developer tooling while bringing an uncommon hobbyist’s rigor as a homebrewer to testing and iteration.
