About Olivier Riccini

01 who

Software engineer, product builder, founder

I am a software engineer with 10 years of experience, six of them building blockchain infrastructure at institutional scale: real-time data, nodes and validators at Blockdaemon, the Ethereum ecosystem at Consensys. Currently on the blockchain team at Hamsa, building financial infrastructure.

I work at the intersection of blockchain, finance and distributed systems, the plumbing institutions rely on: protocol engineering, real-time data, tokenized assets, on-chain credit.

On the side, I am building Quavvo, post-issuance infrastructure for tokenized assets: servicing, collateral and credit for licensed platforms.

Beyond code: entrepreneurship, markets, and systems that give people real ownership. I build fast, kill ideas on the math, and prefer being honest over being hyped.

Open to conversations around tokenized assets and financial infrastructure.

Infrastructure at institutional scale

Protocol engineering, real-time data, nodes and validators, tokenized assets and on-chain credit. The plumbing institutions rely on.

product

Build fast, kill ideas on the math

I take products from the interface down to the on-chain layer, and own the product, architecture and design calls on the way.

entrepreneurship

Founder, then engineer

Blockbrainers since 2020. Before that, an e-commerce venture and an independent retail business.

03 mark

The logo is a script

Take the centre out of a 3 × 3 block and set it on top of the left column. Nine cells, a lowercase b. This is the function that draws the mark in the header above, read from the design system.

design-system/build/build.pypython
def mark(c=10, j=2):
    """Nine cells. The centre of a 3 x 3 block, set on top of the left column."""
    top = c + j  # one cell and one joint
    block = box(0, top, 3 * c, top + 3 * c)
    centre = box(c, top + c, 2 * c, top + 2 * c)
    return block.difference(centre), box(0, 0, c, c)
