Summary
Vasiliy Yorkin is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building high-performance backend systems, developer tools, and blockchain products while based in Bangkok. He has led engineering teams and shipped production-grade crypto infrastructure—working on a Polkadot DEX-aggregator and performance-critical components for Zilliqa that yielded a ~60% speedup. Vasiliy’s background spans diverse stacks including Elixir, Haskell, PureScript, Ruby, and Node.js, and he has repeatedly paired systems-level optimization with pragmatic product delivery. At Zerion he contributed to a next-gen multichain wallet extension focused on on-chain security and UX, and earlier roles included building trading and BI tooling for finance firms. He mentors engineers, runs workshops on Substrate/Polkadot, and has practical experience operating validator infrastructure and AWS pipelines. Outside work he’s refreshingly unpretentious—he likes ramen and brings that same straightforward curiosity to tackling complex technical problems.
