Top SchoolMax Wu is a Staff Engineer and serial founder based in Fremont, CA with nine years of experience building products across crypto, identity, and payments. He co-founded multiple startups including DisputeNinja, which applies AI to chargeback workflows, and Alder Labs, focused on decentralized identity, bringing operator-level product experience to early-stage engineering.
