Summary
James Tuckett is a technical founder and engineer with 10 years’ experience building infrastructure at the intersection of finance, crypto, data and AI from London. He’s designed on-chain US equity tokenisation at Open, co-architected the Lazy Summer Protocol at Summer.fi, and launched Handover, a data-driven UK SMB acquisition marketplace seeded from Companies House. Comfortable shipping core smart contracts, data pipelines and LLM-over-structured-data tools, he combines product instincts with deep system architecture and post-mortem-driven learning. His ventures show a pattern of tackling settlement, liquidity and supply-side activation problems where regulation and human behaviour collide. Open to senior engineering or founding roles, he’s particularly interested in hard technical problems that bridge traditional finance and 24/7 crypto markets. An atypical background in aerospace engineering and early experience as a chartered accountant inform his quantitative, operational and risk-aware approach.
