Shlomo Kraus is a pragmatic technology leader and Head of DeFi Operations based in Israel, combining over two decades of hands-on development experience with 11 years in senior product and engineering roles. He has led R&D and backend infrastructure across startups and enterprises—from co-founding a funded AI/analytics company and a viral music platform to architecting microservices and cloud systems at Samsung Next and Citi. Equally at home with low-level system design and public-facing storytelling, he continues to publish long-form cultural and political pieces for Haaretz while building decentralized finance operations. Known for turning research-grade ideas into production services, he blends technical breadth (Node.js, GraphQL, Postgres, Neo4j, cloud-native stacks) with product-minded execution and fundraising experience. A philosopher by training, he brings unusual curiosity and a narrative sensibility to complex technical and regulatory challenges.
