Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarc-aurèle Besner is an indie builder and full-stack Web3 & AI engineer based in Montreal with five years of hands-on experience shipping smart contracts, decentralized systems, and developer tooling. He specializes in Solidity security, indexers, IPLD-based content-addressable storage, and LLM agent integrations, moving fluidly between protocol infra and Next.js front-ends. At Autonomys he led product engineering for indexers, SDKs, and a Next.js explorer migration, and previously built staking, DAO, and identity primitives across startups like Gluwa and Oamo. Fast at prototyping and technical validation, he focuses on dev experience—custom MetaMask Snaps, testnet faucets, and consensus-chain SDKs are examples of work that smooth onboarding for other engineers. Now exploring indie AI+crypto products, he combines rigorous on-chain thinking with pragmatic product instincts and a penchant for turning experimental R&D into usable developer tools. Unusually for a self-taught engineer, his trajectory spans core protocol design to polished user-facing dApps, reflecting both breadth and executional speed.
