Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Brooks is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in Sydney with a decade of hands-on experience building blockchain systems, token economics and production-grade smart contracts. He has led technical teams at Synthetix/Havven and Bumper and founded Block8 to connect distributed ledger tech to real business problems, spanning Ethereum, Corda, DAML and cloud infrastructure. Samuel combines deep Solidity expertise—contributing to the well-known Synthetix project and implementing ERC20 and SafeMath patterns—with enterprise risk, standards and governance experience from roles at ACS and Standards Australia. Equally comfortable in product strategy and low-level contract design, he has driven whitepapers, cryptoeconomic modelling and token architecture while operating as a pragmatic CTO. His background in electrical engineering and earlier roles in risk, systems and SCM give him a rare blend of rigorous engineering, regulatory fluency and operational delivery.
