ABOUT / SAMUEL DAHUNSI
Samuel Dahunsi - software engineer across products, platforms & proofs.
I build production software across product systems, backend infrastructure, distributed compute, Bitcoin and Stacks protocols, and applied cryptography.
CURRENT WORK
Co-Founder & Software Engineer at QuikDB
At QuikDB, I’m a co-founder and software engineer working on backend systems, distributed compute infrastructure, deployment tooling, node monitoring, restart reliability, operational tooling, and platform architecture.
That role reflects the way I like to work: close enough to the system to build and debug it, and close enough to its users to understand where the developer experience breaks down. Developer relations remains a supporting responsibility, while my primary direction is core engineering.
TECHNICAL DEPTH
Product systems, infrastructure, and protocols
My product-engineering work spans TypeScript, Node.js, Go, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, OpenTelemetry, and production observability. I have shipped SaaS interfaces, backend APIs, deployment workflows, developer tooling, and reliability infrastructure.
My protocol work spans Bitcoin and Stacks applications, sBTC payment flows, Clarity, Solidity, Rust, protocol security, zero-knowledge proofs, sumcheck, GKR, and polynomial commitments.
BACKGROUND
Mathematics, engineering, and teaching
I earned a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Obafemi Awolowo University. That background continues to shape how I approach cryptography, proof systems, correctness, and technical explanation.
I also teach zero-knowledge and cryptography concepts, speak about blockchain careers and developer infrastructure, and translate complex systems into material that developers can actually use.
In 2026, I mentored zero-knowledge students through a three-week Web3Bridge program, represented QuikDB at Web Summit Qatar, and spoke about QuikDB at Ethereum Hub in Lagos. I previously mentored teams in the 2023 and 2024 Technovation Girls competitions.
