What I'm looking for

I’m looking for engineering roles building decentralized systems, Golang backend/SDKs or developer tooling in collaborative, fast-paced teams where I can learn, mentor, and ship impactful features.

I build decentralized systems and developer tooling with a focus on Golang SDKs, CLIs, and smart-contract integration. I designed and implemented catalyst-SDK and Lumos-CLI, integrated libp2p relay and NAT traversal, and contributed to encryption-sdk and threshold-BLS optimizations.

I have hands-on experience from Android reverse engineering for analysis to research internships on identity-based cryptography, and I’ve won top prizes at EthIndia and Scaling Ethereum. I thrive on collaborative, impact-driven projects and lead club initiatives as Vice President of the Blockchain Society.
