Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhen Yong is a senior software leader and founder with 8 years of deep experience building user-first Ethereum dApps, wallet integrations, and non-custodial key management systems. As co-founder and CEO of Web3Auth (acquired by MetaMask) and now Senior Director at MetaMask, he blends product vision with hands‑on full‑stack engineering—particularly around wallet UX and Torus/Web3Auth integrations. His background includes protocol-level work at the Ethereum Foundation and practical payments experience from Visa, giving him a rare perspective across cryptography, developer tooling, and consumer-facing security. An active open-source contributor, he has led documentation and integration efforts that improve on‑chain onboarding and developer experience. Based in Singapore, he’s equally likely to debug a provider config as he is to gush about cats and canelés.
