Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Bor is a seasoned director and software engineer based in London with over 10 years of experience building and shipping production-grade systems across finance and blockchain. He blends leadership at DevCloud with deep hands-on contributions to high-profile open-source projects like Solana—implementing core governance APIs, front-end proposal UI features, and BPF loader upgrade logic that improved upgradeability and CI workflows. His background includes senior engineering and VP roles at major financial firms (JPMorgan Chase, Merrill Lynch) and an early CTO stint, giving him a rare mix of enterprise risk-awareness and startup agility. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and automation, he’s equally adept at designing protocol-level instructions and polishing user-facing React components. Notably, his open-source work on Solana’s governance stack demonstrates both system-level thinking and attention to testable, auditable implementations.
