Evan Cheng, Facebook’s Director of Engineering of three years, has now moved to the same position at the company’s recently established blockchain team, TechCrunch reported Friday, July 6.
The software engineer has updated his LinkedIn profile to reflect the newly acquired position, and the change has also been confirmed to TechCrunch by Facebook.
Prior to this, Cheng was heading Programming Languages and Runtimes at Facebook for about three years.
Apart from taking the new position, Cheng is reportedly consulting a range of blockchain-related projects, including Singaporean blockchain platform Zilliqa and security-focused middleware provider ChainLink.
The company’s head of messaging app David Marcus announced in May that Facebook has set up a team to explore the benefits of blockchain applications across the platform.
