Summary
Pohan Chen is a software team lead and seasoned blockchain engineer with 12 years of experience building distributed systems, cryptographic protocols, and production-grade ML integrations. He has led teams of 20+ engineers to ship layer-two scaling solutions on Ethereum, co-founded a blockchain startup, and guided technical strategy as a manager and lead across startups and research labs. His background blends academic rigor—Master’s research on consortium blockchains and decentralized regression—with hands-on security experience from a CertiK internship and applied projects integrating Solidity on UTXO chains. Now based in Los Angeles, he combines Python, PyTorch, and blockchain tooling expertise to deliver pragmatic, auditable systems that bridge research and product. An uncommon strength is mentoring cross-disciplinary teams (including collaborations with HTC and Stanford) to move novel protocols from prototype to deployable infrastructure.
