Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Choi is a Co-Founder and technical blockchain consultant based in New York with nine years of experience at the intersection of cryptography, research, and startups. He co-founded Spectral after leading Chain Intelligence through Columbia Startup Lab, blending product-minded entrepreneurship with deep technical rigor. His background includes mathematical research at Columbia on number theory and algebraic geometry, and a near-continuous academic path through UCL, Columbia, Harvard Extension, and ongoing PhD work in computer science at NYU. That rare combination of formal math research and hands-on blockchain product building enables him to translate complex theoretical constructs into pragmatic, auditable systems. Kevin also brings a curator’s perspective to technical communication—see more at his personal site—helping teams bridge the gap between proofs and production.
