Kenrick Tan / SingaporeProtocol Engineer @ Galaxy Digital

Infrastructure. Protocols. Possibility.

Complex systems.Clear thinking.

I build the platforms behind the product. From resilient infrastructure to practical AI, I turn engineering complexity into something teams can use.

02 / The person behind the platform

I think in systems.
I build for people.

I’m Kenrick, a Protocol Engineer at Galaxy Digital. My work sits at the intersection of digital assets, infrastructure, and developer experience.

I’ve helped teams move CI/CD platforms, operate Kubernetes environments, and build internal AI tooling. The common thread: making complicated work more dependable and easier to do.

Before engineering, I studied psychology and communications. That perspective stays with me: understand the people, ask better questions, then build the right thing.

03 / Experience

A path through
systems that matter.

Digital assets, financial services, and the infrastructure that connects them.
