Garrett Hughes

Director of Engineering @ Dune

Hi, I'm Garrett Hughes.

I'm based in Richmond, VA and currently serve as Director of Engineering at Dune, where I lead the App, API, and Growth teams. My focus is building developer-first products and data platforms that make blockchain data accessible, reliable, and intuitive at scale.

Previously, I was Head of Engineering at RabbitHole, where I built the team and platform from a cold start to tackle token distribution and onchain incentives. Before that, I was co-founder and CTO of Mint Songs, one of the earliest web3 music platforms, which was later acquired by Napster. Earlier in my career, I was an early engineer at Housecall Pro (🦄), where I helped lead martech, growth, and internal tooling initiatives as the company scaled.

These days, I spend most of my time thinking about distributed systems, data platforms, blockchains, smart contracts, and how to turn complex infrastructure into products developers actually love.

Outside of work, I’m usually outdoors (overlanding, fly fishing, etc) or tinkering with cars... and almost certainly documenting those adventures through photography. You can see more of that on my Instagram.
