Summary
Ty Schenk is a software leader and founder with nine years of experience building clean, maintainable iOS and web applications and currently serves as CEO of Keeta, a global payments startup tackling slow settlement and high cross-border costs. Previously he co-founded BrainBlocks, growing it from a weekend project into a production cryptocurrency payments engine handling substantial wallet storage and real-time merchant transactions. His hands-on background includes product-facing engineering at Turo and early work on real-time monitoring apps, reflecting a mix of backend systems, payments infrastructure, and polished user interfaces. Based in New York, he blends entrepreneurial drive with deep implementation experience and a bias for shipping secure, user-friendly systems. A detail that sets him apart is his experience building payment rails from the ground up—both in crypto at BrainBlocks and now in fiat with Keeta—giving him uncommon end-to-end payments expertise.
