Shusetsu Toda is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in Tokyo with 11 years of experience building backend systems, SDKs and consumer-facing products across blockchain, gaming and restaurant tech. He blends hands-on engineering in TypeScript/Node.js, Go and Java with front-end and mobile expertise (React, Angular, Unity, Cocos2d-x, React Native), enabling end-to-end product delivery from prototype to production. As former Head of SDK Development and current CTO at Lisk, he has shepherded developer tooling and platform integrations that connect node-level servers to client ecosystems. A former founder and CEO, he brings an entrepreneurial mindset to team building, prioritization and shipping robust systems under real-world constraints. Collected by an ECE degree from UBC, he’s equally at home optimizing distributed systems and iterating on user-facing experiences—often translating low-level technical tradeoffs into product features.
