About Karan Sachan
My career has been one through-line: taking complex financial infrastructure and making it move faster, smarter, and more openly. At ZeroHash, I helped power $65B+ in crypto transaction volume across 200+ jurisdictions — quietly becoming the rails under some of the biggest names in fintech. At Nasdaq, I worked on the exchange and market technology that institutional finance depends on. Now at Capital One, I\'m leading AI-powered developer experience — shipping tools that change how engineers build, and thinking hard about what regulated finance looks like on-chain. I\'m a product person who goes deep on the technical and regulatory layers, not just the roadmap. I hold patents in financial technology, think in systems, and build teams and products meant to last. What I care about: programmable money, compliant infrastructure, and the increasingly blurry line between TradFi and crypto. I\'ve spent years at that seam — and I believe the most interesting work of the next decade will happen exactly there. If you\'re building at the intersection of crypto, fintech, or AI — let\'s talk.
