Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaolo A is a technology executive and lifelong builder with 13+ years of experience architecting high-performance, distributed systems for finance and communications, currently serving as CEO of Tether and CTO of Bitfinex. He combines deep systems-level expertise—from Linux kernel and custom networking protocols to parallel computing and low-latency trading engines—with hands-on language fluency in C, C++, Go, Node.js and more. His work spans blockchain, consensus, cryptography and AI, and he co-founded Holepunch to push serverless, end-to-end encrypted P2P communication into production with the Keet app. A conviction-driven technologist rooted in cypherpunk and open-source principles, he prioritizes scalability, security and resilience for mission-critical infrastructure. Unusually, he pairs bleeding-edge research experience (kernel and protocol development since the 2000s) with real-world product leadership managing systems that handle billions in assets. Based in the UK, Paolo is consistently drawn to projects that fuse finance, privacy and decentralisation to enable new economic primitives.
