Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartynas Pelakauskas is a protocol engineer and technical leader with a decade of experience building high-performance systems across blockchain, enterprise, and aerospace domains. As Co-Founder and CTO at Heiko he led design and implementation of a sovereign L1 targeting 100k TPS and sub-second blocks, including a novel parallelizable state-hashing mechanism that avoids storage lookups by aggregating in-memory diffs. Previously he co-founded Hoyu and built a security-first, almost-complete decentralized money market in Solidity that eliminated lender risk by design, and he has delivered large-scale .NET systems as a chapter lead for cross-client real-time processing. Grounded in physics and engineering (MSc and BSc), he thrives at the intersection of performance, security, and scalability, often inventing new primitives like EVM-compatible execution engines and cryptographic data structures. Notably, his background spans both space-grade hardware work on satellite power subsystems and production Rust teams focused on execution and consensus offload—an uncommon blend of low-level systems and protocol engineering. Based in Vilnius, he’s seeking ambitious infrastructure challenges where algorithmic rigor meets production constraints.
