Summary
Patrik Laurell is a systems-focused developer and founder with over a decade of hands-on experience building web apps, embedded ML, and secure distributed systems. He specializes in Rust-driven blockchain infrastructure and smart contract development, having co-founded multiple startups and led smart-contract engineering at projects like Apollo DAO and Mars Protocol. His background spans ML research at Lund University and applied ML work at Arm, giving him a rare combination of model-aware engineering and low-level systems design. Based in Zug, he continuously blends entrepreneurial product instincts with pragmatic, security-minded engineering—recently channeling that into open-source-minded projects such as Thankful. An often-overlooked strength is his cross-domain fluency from C++ flight software to CosmWasm smart contracts, enabling reliable delivery across constrained and on-chain environments.
