Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Di Prima is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in rapid, evidence-led prototyping and incubation, turning ambiguous, early-stage ideas into concrete technical plans teams can ship. With 12 years' experience across blockchain, embedded systems, and secure virtualization, he led key networking and consensus work on Jörmungandr for Cardano’s Incentivised Testnet and shipped production-grade node infrastructure. He excels in Rust, systems thinking and communicating trade-offs, and uses AI-assisted workflows to accelerate iteration without sacrificing quality. His recent focus blends crypto-adjacent discovery, UX feasibility and browser performance benchmarking under tight timeframes. Beyond code, he has a history of building practical tooling and protocols—from DNS-based logging and SMTP tooling to low-level device emulation—that reveal a penchant for pragmatic, security-minded engineering. Based in the UK, he combines research-partnership experience with hands-on implementation to de-risk novel product concepts quickly.
