Wesley Tan
Engineer and operator. I write software and help run the companies that use it.
I study computer engineering, computer science, and economics, and I spend most of my time either writing software or helping run the businesses that use it. The questions I keep coming back to are fairly practical ones, like what holds a stablecoin near its peg or how you measure a validator's performance honestly.
I built a validator performance oracle at Anthias Labs and AI tools for market mapping and company research at Tuck Advisors. I also co-founded WellPrepped Education, a tutoring company that now works with students across three continents. Most of the work I enjoy comes down to figuring out why something behaves the way it does, then making it better.
