Summary
Lucas Calderon is a founder and CEO blending eight years of hands-on software engineering with deep expertise in blockchain security, AI, and finance, currently building an AI-driven, permissionless prediction market in London. FBI-trained in blockchain intelligence and a top-ranked ethical hacker, he has founded multiple ventures—including an AI-powered smart contract auditing startup funded by government and UCL—and helped raise institutional capital for blockchain-enabled marketplaces. His work is sought by crypto hedge funds in the MEV space, and he publishes the largest web3 security newsletter while speaking at Davos and major security forums. Technically fluent across GNNs, DRL, LLMs (TensorFlow/PyTorch/HuggingFace), ZK smart contract security, and cloud/DevOps automation, he bridges product, research, and incident response. Fluent in five languages and a SuperNova Under 30 alumnus, he combines rare operational leadership with a research-grade PhD background to de-risk high-growth deep-tech initiatives. An often-overlooked thread in his career is his early applied ML work in FPGA-based Bitcoin mining pools, showing a long-standing knack for marrying hardware, ML and crypto.
