Hi, I’m Kentaro Vadney—a technologist humbled by the opportunity to serve and create impactful solutions at the intersection of blockchain, distributed systems, and scalable cloud infrastructures. My journey began with a foundation in computer science from UC Berkeley, where I was blessed to contribute to projects like web3 carbon accounting at CarbonSustain and cybersecurity and machine learning applications at Belden and UC Berkeley RISE Lab.
As a follower of Christ, I strive to honor Him in all aspects of my work. I thrive in collaborative environments where innovation, clarity, and efficiency are guided by principles of integrity, compassion, and stewardship. Whether optimizing distributed systems, integrating AI-powered solutions, or mentoring blockchain startups at the Berkeley Blockchain Accelerator, my goal is to create meaningful impact that reflects God's love and simplicity.
I’m always open to meaningful conversations—especially about Jesus and how amazing He is for all of us. If you're curious about faith, have questions, or simply want to talk about how Christ transforms lives, I’d be honored to connect.
