# Danny Delott > Co-Founder @ CommissionRoad.xyz Location: Portland, Oregon Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/dannydelott ## Work Experience ### Founder @ CommissionRoad Jan 2026 – Present | Ethereum CommissionRoad is a permissionless Ethereum protocol that makes it easy to monetize onchain apps. My cofounder and I are building CommissionRoad because onchain apps still do not have a great way to earn fees unless the protocols they build on support it natively. CommissionRoad provides programmable monetization for web3 apps, so builders can create products on top of any protocol and charge fees without deploying custom smart contracts or becoming security experts. ### Senior Frontend Engineer @ Telemetry.io Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Solana Telemetry is a Solana trading terminal with thousands of users and hundreds of millions in trading volume. I worked on the frontend application, with a focus on monetization and distribution features. I helped implement the referral system in the core trading experience, then worked on value-added referral links that let traders share presets and earn kickbacks from the activity they drove. I refactored the real-time data layer behind the UI, cleaning up thousands of lines of fragile React hooks and eliminating a major source of bugs and outages. I also implemented internationalization to help expand the product for Asian KOLs and markets. ### Lead Frontend Engineer @ DELV (formerly Element Finance) Jan 2020 – Jan 2025 DELV (formerly Element Finance) was a DeFi startup that built Element Protocol, one of the first fixed-rate protocols on Ethereum. I joined as a founding engineer and helped take it from zero to one through its growth to $320M in TVL. I built and designed the frontend for Element Protocol, helping turn a complex DeFi protocol into something people could actually use. As the lead frontend engineer, I helped scale the frontend team to five engineers and led product and technical work across the app. I also helped launch adjacent products including Council, ElfiVerse, and Hyperdrive, and I gave talks at ETHGlobal events to help developers understand and build on our protocols. ### Frontend Engineer @ UrbanFootprint Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 UrbanFootprint is an urban planning platform for modeling development scenarios and analyzing their impact with geospatial data. I joined as engineer #5. I was an engineer on Analyst, the main application for scenario planning and impact analysis. I built dozens of core features in the React/ TypeScript frontend for interactive cartography and geospatial analysis, including map symbology, editable legends and color systems, map editing, and selection tools across hundreds of datasets. I was also the lead frontend engineer for Explorer, a separate product used by state governments during COVID. I built the frontend application, including its architecture and mapping and data exploration UI, to help plan testing sites, food banks, transportation, and housing relief. ### Frontend Engineer @ HEAVY.AI (Formerly MapD) Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 MapD (now Heavy.ai) built a GPU-accelerated analytics platform for exploring large datasets in the browser. I joined as engineer #6 and worked directly with the CEO to build core pieces of the product UI for customers in government, telecom, transportation, and other sectors. I built the dashboard grid system, chart builder, and interactive map widget for the core product and TweetMap demo. I also helped refactor a large jQuery codebase to React and Redux with tests, and published open-source libraries for interacting with the GPU database. ### Hacker in Residence @ Hack Reactor Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 Administering technical admissions interviews and delivering coding lectures. ### Computational Linguistics Researcher @ New Mexico Consortium Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Los Alamos, New Mexico Built a suite of tools in Java for refining training datasets used by machine learning and computer vision models. ## Education ### Advanced Software Engineering Immersive Hack Reactor ### BA in French Language and Literature University of North Texas ### French Language Université de Montpellier Paul-Valéry ### Computer Science New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/dannydelott --- Source: https://flows.cv/dannydelott JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/dannydelott/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
