With a rich career in AI leadership, blockchain innovation, and quantum technology, Chris brings a unique blend of technical mastery and philosophical insight. A seasoned entrepreneur and thought leader, he continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, driven by a belief that technology, wielded thoughtfully, can redefine humanity’s future for the better.
A visionary technologist, blockchain pioneer, and advocate for a decentralized future, his interests span music, art, comedy improv and education. Chris was fascinated by math and it’s practical application in his youth, catapulting him into the crypto space at an early age.
Nearly a decade ago, Chris stood at a crossroads, grappling with a profound question: How can I best serve humanity? At the time, he was quickly establishing himself as an invaluable leader in the AI space, serving as the team lead for Tensor Spark, where he honed his expertise in cutting-edge technologies. Yet, it was his deep-rooted experience in blockchain that illuminated his path forward.
For Chris, blockchain was more than a tool, it was the key to unlocking a socioeconomic upgrade for humanity.
An early Bitcoin adopter, Chris saw the transformative potential of decentralized systems long before they entered mainstream discourse. At a conference in 2016, he passionately outlined Bitcoin’s merits and envisioned a future where it could reshape global finance.
Reflecting on its power in his 2017 Medium article, From Thieves to Honest Men: The Alchemy of Bitcoin, he argued that Bitcoin’s design, making counterfeiting computationally impractical, could shift human incentives, turning would-be exploiters into contributors for the collective good. “Bitcoin tips the scales of expected outcomes,” he wrote, suggesting it could inspire a world where honest work triumphs over corruption.
Chris channeled this vision into a remarkable career, blending technical expertise with a relentless drive to innovate.
His notable contributions include:
- Early Bitcoin innovation: Development of early data intelligence tools and privacy tech in Bitcoin as well as key contributor to early bitcoin software.
- Founding crypto startups: Launched Bitmesh, Lunyar and FactoryDAO, pioneering practical blockchain solutions to empower individuals and communities.
- Post-quantum cryptography leadership: currently focused on integrating and educating on post-quantum cryptography into blockchain.
- Security consulting: private cybersecurity consulting for investors and families to safeguard or recover critical assets.
“Quantum Canary was envisioned as a reliable source of news and insight about quantum security and blockchains. The transition to a post-quantum future will be full of surprises and we are here to tell the story.”Christopher Smith - Editor-in-Chief
