Today I am speaking with Brianna Migliaccio, Developer Relations at Solana. At Solana, Brianna works to empower developers, helping teams leverage Solona’s speed and scalability. Her role involves creating developer resources, from comprehensive bootcamps to practical guides for building decentralized applications.
With degrees in mechanical engineering and nuclear physics from NYU, Brianna brings a unique technical perspective to blockchain development. Her journey began at Accenture as a consultant, where she discovered her passion for software engineering before transitioning to web3 through Delphi Digital, where she developed smart contracts in the Cosmos ecosystem.
In our conversation, Brianna shares insights on the evolution of blockchain technology, Solana's growing developer ecosystem, and the importance of user-friendly tools for web3 adoption. She discusses the development of new validator clients like Fire Dancer, improvements in blockchain infrastructure, and her excitement about seeing web3 applications with familiar web2 interfaces.
