Our Team

Adin has worked as a researcher and founder in peer-to-peer technologies and cryptography, focusing on making communication and data sharing safer, faster, and more reliable. As a core maintainer of IPFS libraries, Adin has contributed across the stack, including Libp2p and Filecoin. Immersed in customer use cases, Adin has a knack for identifying common challenges and demonstrating how IPFS-related technologies can provide effective solutions.

Cameron previously led teams managing critical components of the IPFS and Libp2p ecosystems, including the IPFS.io gateway, JS preload nodes, Libp2p/DHT Bootstrap nodes, IPFS Collab clusters, and the Badbits deny list, among other key responsibilities. Before that, he honed his expertise in distributed systems by contributing to organizations ranging from innovative startups to multinational enterprises, including Atlassian, Rocket Internet, Ververica/Alibaba, and Kraken.

Lidel started in 2015 as a community contributor, creating IPFS Companion - a browser extension that brings IPFS to everyday users. He joined Protocol Labs in 2018 to work on IPFS (Companion , Kubo , WebUI , Desktop ) full-time, focusing on making distributed web technologies work seamlessly with existing browsers and standards. In 2024, he joined Shipyard where he continues working to bridge IPFS with HTTP and the web , helping ensure users have control over their own data and experience.

Hector joined Protocol Labs in 2016 as lead developer of the IPFS Cluster project. As part of this and other efforts, he has contributed to many pieces of the IPFS stack. He wrote Merkle-CRDTs: Merkle-DAGs meet CRDTs , and implemented a key-value store based on Merkle-CRDTs. He has also worked on deploying and maintaining production infrastructure for IPFS, Drand and Filecoin. More recently he’s been working on IPFS HTTP gateways and content-filtering for IPFS, authoring the specification for a new denylist format and implementing support in Kubo.

Alex joined Protocol Labs in early 2018 to work on the js-IPFS project. He’s since taken on js-libp2p and recently created Helia, a new IPFS implementation in JavaScript. He is a contributor to most parts of the IPFS/libp2p JavaScript stack and has published several popular open source libraries.

Guillaume joined Protocol Labs in 2022 as a Research Engineer, focusing on peer-to-peer protocol design and analysis, especially in areas like content routing and Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs). He holds a joint Master’s degree in Computer Science - Cybersecurity from EPFL and ETH Zurich. With prior experience at Cisco and IBM Research Europe, Guillaume has been involved in various projects related to network security and efficiency. His work is driven by a passion for advancing Internet Decentralization, Privacy, and the Free/Libre Open Source Software movement, aiming to shape a more secure and accessible digital future.

Andrew joined Protocol Labs in 2020, to work on go-ipfs and related golang projects. Since then, he contributed to IPFS, IPLD, Filecoin, and IPNI projects. At IP Shipyard, he is focused on improving IPFS and related projects. Andrews also continues to help maintain IPNI as well as contributes to other projects involving PL technologies.

Joined Protocol Labs in 2022 to work on the public IPFS gateway - ipfs.io. Responsible for maintaining all systems operational 24/7 and serving terabytes of traffic every month. Current efforts include rolling-out Rainbow - the fast and resource-efficient IPFS HTTP gateway - across all global locations.
