Top SchoolKenneth Hodler is a seasoned engineering leader and entrepreneur with 13+ years building secure, blockchain-focused systems and guiding startups from prototype to acquisition. He combines hands-on expertise across firmware, backend APIs, and React front-ends with deep knowledge of network security, cryptography, and decentralized architectures. As an early engineer and eventual CTO at KeepKey, he led product, manufacturing, and integration efforts through a successful exit, and later founded ventures addressing digital-asset inheritance and AI-powered operations.

He’s known for relentless work ethic and an unusual blend of low-level systems experience with creative token-economy design.
