Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin King is a senior software engineer and former founder with 11 years building security-first infrastructure, distributed systems, and real-time products across startups and tech giants. Currently a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI after senior roles at Google and engineering leadership at Room Service and krypt.co, he blends cryptography expertise from an MIT M.Eng. with hands-on systems work in Rust, infra, video, crypto, and VR. He’s shipped production data and analytics platforms (notably re-architecting Mux’s analytics onto ClickHouse) and built non-custodial crypto tooling such as the Fractal Wallet and the krypt.co kr SSH/Git signing integrations. Comfortable moving between back-end, security, and infra, he favors pragmatic designs that make complex distributed problems operable in production. An entrepreneur at heart, he’s as likely to prototype a protocol as to harden it for scale.
