Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJurvis Tan is a software engineer and technical leader with 12 years of experience building mobile and full-stack products for startups and growth-stage companies, now focused on applied cryptography and key management. He has shipped apps featured as App of the Day in 100+ countries and scaled products to 25K+ daily active users, and recently led Block’s Bitkey effort to deliver the industry’s first privacy-preserving collaborative-custody wallet across mobile, backend, and AWS Nitro Enclaves. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and manager, Jurvis has moved between iOS/Android, Rust backends, and web stacks to operationalize secure key custody, MPC research, and verifiable key infrastructure. He contributes to notable open-source projects including rust-lightning, adding network graph persistence and HTLC tracking, and has built event and conference apps on iOS. Currently studying Computational and Applied Mathematics at USC with an interest in cryptography, he combines practical product delivery with formal math training to design usable security. Based in Los Angeles, he’s driven by a belief that secure, user-friendly digital identity and value systems are fundamental to free societies.

Active development happens on git.rust-bitcoin.org, this repo is a mirror of https://git.rust-bitcoin.org/lightningdevkit/rust-lightning
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:173 reviews, 20 commits, 15 PRs in 9 months
Contributions summary:Jurvis focused on enhancing the `rust-lightning` library with features related to network graph persistence and improved debugging capabilities. They implemented network graph persistence using existing channel manager persistence mechanisms. Furthermore, the user added custom debugging for critical data structures like `PathBuildingHop`, increasing the visibility of pathfinding operations. The user also added utilities to handle HTLC failures and introduced more robust inflight HTLC tracking.
