John Palmer

I have a background in product design and software engineering. I am currently working on PartyDAO and Area.


I started my career as a software engineer at Snapchat, then founded a crypto startup which went through Y Combinator in 2018. Since then, I've spent my time building new products, writing about software, and occasionally consulting for founders.
