Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Terzis is an entrepreneurial engineering leader with over a decade of experience building production-grade distributed systems, ML pipelines, and Web3 infrastructure. He has led and scaled engineering teams from 0 to 1 as CTO of a decentralized NFT lending marketplace and later drove network ecosystem and data infrastructure for a real-time decentralized chat backed by top-tier investors. At Cloudflare he bridged systems and applied ML work—shipping edge ML inference and the company’s first GPU-aware training/validation pipeline on Airflow and Kubernetes. His background includes founding-engineer work in crypto lending at BlockFi and production ML fraud and portfolio systems in fintech, reflecting a rare blend of finance, data science, and cloud-native platform expertise. Based in the U.S., he combines hands-on implementation skills with operator relationship and infrastructure stewardship, and often surfaces product extensions—like third-party apps on protocol networks—that reveal a product-minded engineering approach.
