Top SchoolKehinde Faleye is a Protocol Engineer with 9 years of experience focused on high-throughput, low-latency blockchain infrastructure and distributed systems. Currently at Burnt Finance he develops Cosmos SDK modules and CosmWasm contracts in Go, driving throughput up 25% and latency down 30%, and has built IBC-based cross-chain protocols and a zk signer for privacy-preserving transactions. He also leads part-time blockchain engineering at IvoryPay, architecting multi-chain payment and swap systems that handle roughly $300k/month and implementing CI/CD for secure contract deployment.
