Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Upton is a pragmatic CTO and blockchain-focused engineer with 11 years of experience building products across startups and enterprise environments from Sydney. He blends a psychology-informed user perspective with deep hands-on expertise in Ethereum protocol engineering, Layer-2, DeFi and smart contracts while still shipping full-stack systems—from frontend frameworks and React Native to Kubernetes-backed AWS architectures. Kevin has led teams and companies (CEO/CTO) and run product-grade platforms for gaming, betting, and fintech, repeatedly moving monolithic systems to modern CI/CD and cloud-native stacks. His background in game engineering and experimental interests in EEG, wearable tech and organic computing drive a research-minded approach to product design and novel UX. Comfortable toggling between architect, principal engineer and operator, he excels at turning speculative ideas into production realities.
