Senior🎓
Top SchoolValery Cherepanov is a Distributed Systems Engineer in London with 12 years of experience building production-grade blockchain infrastructure, protocol designs, and developer tooling. He moved from Google's core Android Studio and engineering productivity teams into crypto, where he led high-impact projects—from architecting a cross-chain Credible Commitment Machine that cut Bitcoin-to-EVM settlement from 10 minutes to 10 seconds to reimplementing a high-performance Ethereum block builder with novel optimization algorithms. Comfortable in Rust and systems-level design, he blends competitive-programming‑honed algorithmic thinking with product-minded engineering and mentoring experience. Notably, he has shipped Algorand’s first permissionless liquidity-mining protocol and tackled NP-hard block-building problems at market scale. Always keen for technical discussions, he focuses on practical solutions to core blockchain challenges like efficient block building, cross-chain routing, gas optimization, and ZK systems.
