Top SchoolLeonardo Passos is a Project & Hiring Manager and former Senior Research Engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo and over a decade of experience building and managing security-focused blockchain tooling. He was a founding team member at Quantstamp, designing their audit node and leading smart-contract audits for enterprise clients like Siemens and the World Economic Forum while also defining hiring and mentoring processes. His background spans systems and compiler work, scalable data pipelines in Go/Scala, and research-driven software engineering, reflecting deep expertise in static analysis, protocol design, and empirical repository mining.
