Summary
Jason You is a Lecturer and Ph.D. candidate with a decade of experience at the intersection of DeFi, cryptography, and AI, focused on building secure, interoperable digital asset exchange protocols. He combines academic depth—dissertation work on zero-knowledge proofs, MPC, and adaptor-signature atomic swaps—with practical engineering from Hyperledger Caliper GUIs to on-chain autonomous AI agent backtests. His research emphasizes protocol-level risk management and stablecoin resilience, and he teaches Financial Computing with Python, bridging theory to hands-on student projects. Past roles include blockchain architecture and deployment at Purdue and full-stack engineering for Hyperledger, where he led real-time benchmark visualizations and configuration tooling. Based in Hong Kong, he also brings applied product instincts, having implemented enterprise supply-chain smart contracts and cryptographic wallets. Colleagues note his rare blend of rigorous formal methods and production-grade implementation skills that accelerate DeFi safety and innovation.
