Kris Bitney is a Technical Lead with eight years of experience building full-stack and blockchain systems, currently leading development at dOrg and contributing to the ZenChain L1 project. He blends hands-on engineering—from Rust runtime modules and Solidity contracts to TypeScript full-stack apps and PostgreSQL-backed APIs—with systems thinking around bridges, indexers, and interoperability. His background in public policy and data science informs a measured, test-driven approach to complex distributed systems and revenue-sensitive product work. Notably, he has shipped production relayers, idempotent bridge services, and an Alchemy-powered account-abstraction airdrop app, demonstrating both protocol-level and application-layer expertise. Based in Greater Seattle, he thrives on building developer tooling and cross-chain infrastructure that scales from research prototypes to live testnets.
