What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build blockchain infrastructure and distributed systems end-to-end—owning protocol and backend services in Go, Cosmos SDK, and IBC, collaborating closely with teams to deliver scalable, production-grade networks.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 9+ years of experience, including 7+ years specializing in blockchain infrastructure and distributed systems. I build scalable backend services and production-grade networks, with deep expertise in Golang, Cosmos SDK, and IBC protocol.

At Vitwit Technologies, I’ve led teams and owned core blockchain work across Solana and Cosmos SDK-based networks. I’ve managed Cosmos SDK module development for private/enterprise chains, handled network upgrade processes, contributed to cross-chain liquidity and Osmosis-LP CosmWasm via IBC, and improved IBC relayer tooling for feature enhancements and stability.

Beyond core protocol work, I deliver reliable systems end-to-end: backend services for Cosmos SDK gaming and other platforms, Emeris backend contributions, and core development/maintenance work for Akash Network testnets. I’m also actively exploring projects like a validator node health dashboard (Conspulse), Cosmos → Ethereum ZK bridge prototypes, and protocol-focused work such as PALP for ATOM liquidity distribution.
