Kenneth Hodler is a seasoned engineering leader and entrepreneur with 13+ years building secure, blockchain-focused systems and guiding startups from prototype to acquisition. He combines hands-on expertise across firmware, backend APIs, and React front-ends with deep knowledge of network security, cryptography, and decentralized architectures. As an early engineer and eventual CTO at KeepKey, he led product, manufacturing, and integration efforts through a successful exit, and later founded ventures addressing digital-asset inheritance and AI-powered operations. His consulting work spans payment gateways, AMMs, NFTs, and novel crypto primitives (dead-man’s switch wallets, proxy re-encryption access control), reflecting a knack for pragmatic experimentation. Based in Washington and now retired, he remains active in trading and advisory roles, mentoring teams and translating complex technical problems into operational improvements. He’s known for relentless work ethic and an unusual blend of low-level systems experience with creative token-economy design.
