Top SchoolYan Man is a senior smart contracts engineer and entrepreneur with seven years of experience building web3 systems and clean-energy products that bridge hardware, software, and behavioral design. Currently at Aave Labs, he combines hands-on Solidity development and audit management with prior leadership roles where he launched a regulated security token and architected complex web2/web3 integrations. As co-founder/CTO of Hero Power and MeterGenius he applied gamification and IoT to drive load shifting and customer engagement for utilities, reaching 125k+ users and measurable retention lifts. His background in robotics and biomimetics—developing whisker-based flow sensors and mechatronic prototypes at Northwestern—gives him a unique experimental, quantitative edge in product development.
