Background

About Thomas M.

With over 23 years of professional experience, I specialize in creating high-performance APIs, services, and innovative solutions that disrupt industries and drive growth. As the founder and CTO of multiple successful startups, including Vosbor Exchange (a portfolio company of LUX ventures), I have revolutionized trading in global commodity markets, offering seamless trade capture, real-time access for spot and forward physical markets, and unique benchmarks for margin and risk management. I am one of the authors of Ethereum and Polkadot clients, having built production-ready blockchains such as DUSK, EVMOS, Skycoin, Smilo, GoQuorum, EtherZero and MDL. My expertise also includes leading the development of Picasso bridge (now Hyperbridge) and serving as Lead Architect at Hydration DEX, the leading Polkadot decentralized exchange. In blockchain architecture, I’ve developed and adapted trusted consensus algorithms like Clique, Tendermint, Istanbul, and Sport, delivering permissionless and permissioned PoS and PoA solutions backed by Smart Contracts. My contributions include Dusk's innovative Proof-of-Blind-Bid consensus and advancing Ethereum compatibility within the Cosmos ecosystem through my work on Ethermint (now EVMOS). My career spans multiple roles, from Developer to Director, including over 11 years as a professional CTO. I’ve driven impactful change for companies like IBM, The William Hill sports betting platform, Lead and outsource deliverables to IBM Liquid Community / TopCoder and many other leading businesses within the EMEA and Latin America. With expertise across big data, cloud solutions, and performance optimization, I guide businesses in realizing their visions through technology. You have a Vision. I know the way to get you there.
