Senior🎓
Top SchoolIttay Dror is a seasoned systems architect and engineering leader with over 25 years in software and 17 years in senior roles, currently serving as Chief Architect at StarkWare where he designs high-throughput blockchain and backend systems powering Starknet and StarkEx. He combines deep distributed-systems experience (large-scale cloud, Kubernetes, Aerospike, AWS/GCP) with hands-on work in cryptographic proof systems and smart contract languages like Cairo and Solidity. Previously he led cloud and security architecture at Akamai—shaping products that operate across ~200,000 edge servers and handle a quarter of global web traffic—and has a track record of creating new product lines and managing multi-national engineering organizations. Ittay’s work sits at the intersection of practical production engineering and cutting-edge research: enabling million-transaction-per-day exchanges and architectures that trade execution cost for succinct cryptographic verification. He’s equally comfortable coding core systems as he is setting architectural strategy and participating in executive decision forums. Trained in computer science and mathematics at Tel Aviv University, he brings a long history of shipping scalable, security-focused infrastructure.
