Matheus Cardoso

Currently a Founding Engineer at Raiku, building high-performance infrastructure for the Solana ecosystem. I architect systems that process 60,000 transactions per second through optimized networking stacks and validator-level modifications.

Previously at RISC Zero, I advanced zero-knowledge proof systems, improving zkVM performance and building infrastructure that processes millions of Ethereum transactions daily. My blockchain journey began in DeFi, developing derivatives exchanges and implementing rigorous testing for financial systems.

My path to software engineering started in bioinformatics research, where I developed computational models for vaccines against tropical diseases. This scientific background brings a unique perspective to my work in high-performance computing and distributed systems.
