Jason Frame is a Blockchain Protocol Engineer with nine years of professional experience, based in the Greater Brisbane Area, currently contributing to ConsenSys and PegaSys' protocol teams. He brings deep Java backend expertise from long-term work on enterprise Ethereum clients such as Hyperledger Besu and Teku, where he implemented consensus-related JSON-RPC methods, strengthened JVM cryptography defaults, and expanded external signer integrations. Jason’s contributions show a focus on consensus mechanics (Clique/IBFT) and practical tooling—adding network command-line options and integration tests to improve real-world usability. Prior roles across fintech and web platforms, including Mastercard and Comparethemarket, reflect a track record of shipping secure, production-grade systems. Colleagues can expect a pragmatic engineer who balances protocol correctness with operational considerations and a history of improving both functionality and security in open-source blockchain clients.
