Austin Harshberger

Early blockchain and privacy advocate, open-source maintainer, and product leader with deep technical expertise across emerging technologies.

I'm also a lifelong builder who started modding World of Warcraft to run on Linux and somehow ended up holding a patent and launching the Polkadot Pioneers Prize for zero-knowledge research.

I ship like I write: probably too often, a little sarcastically, and usually after some matcha.

Always open to connect with fellow builders looking for mentorship, potential advisors, or those generally interested in all things at the frontier. Let's chat!
