Official Bio: As a serial entrepreneur who has served as the leader/CTO of several startups with successful exits, I have built a horizontal skill set including product management, UX/UI design, full-stack development, and sysadmin.
I quit my job as Technical Lead Manager at Tron Foundation on January 10th. At Tron, I developed TronBox and Tron QuickStart and contributed heavily to TronWeb. Also, I entirely re-wrote TronGrid (an Infura-like infrastructure), making it fast, reliable, and scalable.
Before, I ran 0xNIL, Initial Free Offerings, Tweedentity, and a couple of other projects, mostly on Ethereum. As a side project, I am developing a decentralized, cross-chain card game using NFT tokens.
From December 2015 to July 2017, I have been a Principal Engineer in the Growth Team at Yahoo. I focused on Golden Gate, a complex, critical infrastructure that manages all the interstitial pages for any mobile web app in Yahoo, generating 96% of all the non-organic installs of Yahoo's mobile apps. After Verizon has acquired Yahoo, I decided to leave and dedicate some time to learning about smart contracts, blockchains, decentralized apps, etc.
Before Yahoo, I was a Senior Android developer at Turo (formerly known as RelayRides), which acquired SocialStudio at the end of May 2015.
In SocialStudio, from March 2014, I worked on the Android version of FADE, a social network for college students. Before, I developed JumpCam's Android application. We launched it in November 2013, and the Google Play Editorial Team selected JumpCam as an Editor's Choice for Top Apps in 2013.
From 2006 to 2012, I co-founded, managed, and sold Passpack, the first host-proof hosting online password manager.
Before, I did many other things, but the list would be too long :-)
That said, my real nature is artistic. In my spare time, I make short movies (https://vimeo.com/francescosullo), write songs (https://soundcloud.com/sullof/sets/cinque-canzoni), write stories, et cetera. Life is beautiful.
Right now, I am mostly helping startups to define their product and perfect their pitch to investors.
