James Hall

James Hall is Director of Engineering leading innovative tech solutions at Yuga Labs. My leadership has steered a team of 10 engineers towards pioneering Web3 experiences, such as the Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks, and others. Our collective efforts have resulted in the successful direction and implementation of cutting-edge tech specs, leveraging tools like next.js, react, and ethers. Previously, as an Engineering Manager at Shopify, I guided a team through the complexities of blockchain technology, creating robust components and APIs for third-party developers. Our Gates API initiative stands as a testament to our ability to deliver full end-to-end solutions for token-gated products. My focus on fostering collaboration, managing performance, and mentoring engineers has not only promoted individual growth but also solidified our reputation for reliable product delivery.
