Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOnyeka Obi is a technical leader and founder with 11 years of experience building mathematically rigorous, production-grade software across distributed systems, blockchain, and embedded interfaces. Currently Managing Technical Partner at Lifeline Acquisitions, he automated lead generation and outreach with an Elm frontend and Rust backend, reflecting a consistent focus on strong type systems and performance. His background spans principal engineering roles at PolySign and Expedia, research contributions to algebraic gossiping and P2P systems, and open-source work on the Many Framework and many-rs.
