Tim Olson is a founder-CEO and seasoned engineer with roots at Apple/NeXT in the 1990s and over two decades of startup-building experience across ad tech, corporate travel, crypto, and distributed compute. He has repeatedly launched and scaled hardware and software ventures—from open-sourced CryptoNight ASICs and GPU mining operations to algorithmic crypto trading and a DeFi trading protocol that connects traders directly to global liquidity. A practical systems builder, Tim blends low-level engineering (hardware and mining) with scalable backend and analytics work, and has led teams through rapid production builds and exits. His projects show a pattern of fast execution and experimentation, including charitable distributed compute for science and unconventional monetization approaches. Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he pairs technical depth with operator instincts and a knack for turning research ideas into shipping products.
