Bartosz is the head of product engineering at Solana. He’ll tell you more about his journey into crypto in the episode, but Bartosz is someone with deep expertise in building software for the world of traditional finance. Before getting into crypto, he built trading systems for years at Citadel and worked as a senior engineer at JP Morgan.
You can consider this episode as a crash course on building on Solana for engineers who have a familiarity with the EVM. We walk through the Solana execution environment, how token contracts work on Solana, and some of the different mental models you’ll need to wrap your mind around to build Solana programs.
We also walk through how Bartosz thinks about building developer communities, and what he’s excited about in the Solana ecosystem.
Whether or not you plan to build on Solana, Bartosz is an excellent engineer and someone we can all learn from.
