Senior🎓
Top SchoolTony Tao is an engineering manager with 8 years of hands-on experience building full-stack and Web3 payments systems, currently leading the Tokeniser/Redbelly Network engineering team focused on compliant real-world-asset tokenisation. He has repeatedly built payment engines and fintech back-ends from the ground up—driving architecture, PCI/SOC2 readiness, CI/CD and observability—while also shipping cross-chain wallets and DeFi products.

Comfortable in startup and enterprise environments, he pairs agile/lean practices with pragmatic infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS, Docker) to accelerate delivery. A practical problem-solver, he moves between low-level implementation and strategic direction, and even applies lessons from entrepreneurial ventures and blockchain grants to bridge compliance, security and user-centric design.
