Kevin Small
Staff Solidity Engineer & Architect
I design and deliver production-grade blockchain systems from tokenomics and smart contracts to real-world integration and operations. I have over two decades of engineering experience, with the last 8 years spent specialising in DeFi, Solidity and blockchain.
Most recently at XMTP, I’ve been responsible for staking and token architecture across Ethereum and Base, supporting a decentralized messaging network. Previously, as Head of Blockchain at PV01, I led the development of a tokenised bond platform securing tens of millions of USD in TVL over multiple chains. This was also the first tokenised bond issued under English Law. At Consensys I worked on Solidity and backend infrastructure for the Nethereum and Quorum projects.
What sets me apart
I make complex systems understandable
Turning DeFi, staking and cross-chain systems into designs teams can reason about and trust.
I care about business process, not just code
My background in SAP and enterprise systems means I think end-to-end about how systems really operate.
I get to the root of problems and see things through
Not just code and fixes. Full system understanding from design through to production.
