Steve Gerbino is a software engineer specializing in blockchain technology and open-source development. He co-architected the Koinos Blockchain — a fast, feeless, developer-centric smart contract platform built on the principle that powerful technology means nothing if ordinary people can't use it.

He also contributed to the Steem Blockchain, working on core protocol development including consensus validation, performance optimization, and state management. Previously, he worked in FinTech on Openlink's flagship application Endur/Findur, an industry leader in transaction lifecycle management for supermajors like Shell and ExxonMobil.

His hobbies include playing blues on the guitar, swimming in the Mediterranean, and calling new programming languages a flavor of the month before returning to C++.
