Darryl Yeo is a self-taught software engineer with over a decade of experience building delightful data-driven experiences for the decentralized web. He previously built websites and user interfaces at dYdX, Ritual, ETHGlobal, Spindl and Coinbase.
Today, Darryl focuses on building open-source tools that promote transparency and self-sovereignty in crypto ecosystems, including Walletbeat, a community standard for Ethereum wallets, and Blockhead, a local-first client for decentralized protocols.
Session
Walletbeat asks wallets to embody Ethereum values, so its maintainers turned the same scrutiny on the website that publishes its ratings. In a world of ossified consensus around "good enough" frontend stacks, what tradeoffs are still worth making? Using the site's static build pipeline as a case study, Darryl shows how principles of dependency minimalism and the walkaway test can help devs intentionally build resiliency, transparency and durability into web development and publishing workflows.
