Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMorgan Kuphal is a pragmatic technology leader and founder turned CTO, blending four years of hands-on engineering with entrepreneurial experience that includes founding and exiting an ecommerce business that exceeded $1M in revenue. Based in Milwaukee, he built Chainlink Functions features—sandboxed runtimes, threshold decryption, and distributed replicated storage—that power secure off-chain computation for a major decentralized oracle network. As CTO of Tunnl Labs he launched an on-chain community marketing platform that combines smart contracts with AI verification to pay anyone to post at scale. He contributes backend improvements to high-profile open-source projects like Chainlink and external-adapters-js, focusing on robust adapter overrides, oracle configuration, and secret management. Comfortable bridging product, crypto research, and production engineering, he has a knack for turning complex distributed protocols into developer-friendly tools. His background in precision robotics and direct-to-consumer commerce gives him an unusual mix of hardware-level rigor and growth-focused product instincts.
