Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJustin Torre is an engineering manager and founder with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience building production systems, developer tools, and blockchain/payments infrastructure from San Francisco. He has led small, high-performing teams (most recently at Mintlify) while also founding Helicone, an open-source LLM observability platform where he contributed full‑stack UI and backend work including billing integrations. Justin’s hands-on background spans systems-level engineering at Apple and Intel, Rust product engineering, Solana and EVM smart contracts, and portable native bindings for multi-platform apps. He combines product intuition with deep implementation skills—shipping everything from firmware and camera systems to distributed AI tooling—and often bridges gaps between research, infra, and UX. Colleagues describe him as a builder who moves quickly between strategy and code, with a particular knack for making complex developer experiences feel simple.
