Paul Dowman

I build technical products and teams.

I am enabling trustworthy AI through cryptographically verifiable computing at EQTY Lab. Previously I led Blockchain engineering at Shopify, and I led engineering for user-facing apps at Polygon.

I like adventures and I like solving problems. I have built many products, led software development teams and organizations, led technology at a startup with a successful exit, founded and operated a successful company for 8 years, and helped lead and scale one of the fastest-growing large engineering organizations in the world at Shopify. I have created popular open source projects, organized conferences with hundreds of people, built a successful training program, and built trust with all whom I have worked with.

I love to talk about software engineering and building great products, the business of technology, and anything related to decentralized infrastructure and blockchain tech. If you're working on similar things, or have an interesting technology, process, or culture problem/opportunity send me a message and let's talk.
