Summary
Julien Lucca is an engineering manager and blockchain infrastructure leader with 11 years’ experience building secure, compliance-first crypto platforms and distributed systems. At Zero Hash he runs crypto engineering for a $1B+ digital asset provider, managing senior engineers across multiple squads and owning 150+ microservices that power custody, settlement, staking, and tokenization across 15+ chains. He combines hands-on systems work—rewriting EVM monitors, building Nitro Enclave signing flows, and shipping issuance-as-a-service—with product and regulatory translation, turning FinCEN/MiCA/OFAC/BitLicense requirements into technical controls. A former CTO and co-founder, Julien has built PCI-compliant payment gateways and DAO platforms deployed across several countries, and he prefers coaching and shielding engineers to let them own outcomes. Background interests in functional programming and philosophy hint at a design-minded, principled approach to engineering and team leadership.
