Summary
Harris Levine is a founder and smart contract engineer with eight years of experience building protocols and developer tools at the intersection of blockchain, cryptography, and real-time communication. As founder and lead architect of DED, he’s designing a trustless, peer-to-peer education marketplace that automates payments and gives educators ownership of their work. He pairs hands-on Solidity and EVM expertise—gas optimization, Yul, security and rollups—with full‑stack product delivery, having shipped features for modular chains, NFT protocols, and FHE tooling. Harris also teaches immersive, practical blockchain curricula and bridges AI concepts into smart contract workflows, helping new engineers ship secure, production-ready code. His background spans research-driven modular blockchain experiments (Celestia) to protocol engineering at Beanstalk and Etch, showing a pattern of tackling systemic gaps rather than single-feature apps. He’s driven by a simple thesis: decentralizing learning infrastructure unlocks more equitable, high-signal skill exchange.
