Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke-joel B is a founding staff engineer and systems-focused leader with 13 years of experience building high-performance backend and distributed systems across fintech, crypto, and data infrastructure. He combines hands-on expertise in TypeScript/Node, Python, and Go with operational experience on AWS and GCP to deliver reliable, high-throughput platforms for trading, DeFi, and execution networks. As a founder and senior engineer at multiple startups and protocol teams, he excels in ambiguous problem spaces where first principles, architecture tradeoffs, and end-to-end data flow drive product impact. He’s led technical direction and mentoring while shipping production systems—from real-time portfolio aggregation at Cryptograf to protocol work at Kava and execution infrastructure at Symphony AI. Based in Boston, his work sits at the intersection of systems design, performance, and pragmatic product outcomes, with a current interest in agent-driven architectures and the evolution from web2 to web3. Colleagues describe him as someone who makes complex distributed systems both scalable and understandable, prioritizing testability and consistency as much as raw throughput.
