Xinchen "Mike" Liu
I founded LUFF and build apps and agent infrastructure. From 2024 to 2026, I was Lead Smart Wallet Developer at Gemini, where my work also covered tokenized prediction markets, GUSD, and agentic development workflows. I was a founding engineer at Paymagic Labs and co-founded Validity.id, leading blockchain engineering and full-stack diploma deployment for academic credential verification. I care about tools that stay understandable when they hold real authority.
