Senior🎓
Top SchoolShady Damaty, Ph.D., is a founder and executive with a decade of experience building privacy-preserving identity and decentralized science infrastructure. As Co-Founder and CEO of Holonym he leads development of a zero-knowledge identity protocol focused on user-owned verified claims and non-custodial account recovery for Web3 applications. He also serves as President of OpSci, delivering autonomous scientific applications and DAO tooling that bridge distributed cloud networks and smart contract blockchains. Trained as a neuroscientist at Georgetown, his research background in neurodevelopment and MRI-driven prediction of violent outcomes informs a data-first, evidence-driven approach to product and protocol design. Based in Paris, he blends deep academic rigor with startup pragmatism and a taste for systems that respect individual privacy and sovereignty. His GitHub quip—“i wish my hippocampus was compatible with git version control”—hints at a playful humility behind serious technical ambition.
