@varunkiragi
Computer science engineer focused on full‑stack and AI-driven products with strong blockchain experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a computer science engineer with hands-on experience building full‑stack web and mobile applications, AI systems, and blockchain dApps. I recently completed multiple internships where I led development, optimized performance, and shipped user-facing features.
At The Honey Jar I developed a Coin Flip game dApp on Berachain, optimized smart contracts for NFTs to improve gas efficiency by 15%, and enhanced an indexer to improve transaction tracking and user engagement. At TeamcalAI I was the sole developer building a voice assistant using React Native speech recognition, improving accessibility and app stability through rigorous testing and monitoring.
Previously at MyAIChef I optimized web scraping pipelines in Python to reduce execution time by 20%, revamped a TypeScript/React Native interface to increase user satisfaction, and implemented data handling improvements that boosted system performance. My projects include an NLU search engine (MailFind) built with GPT-5 nano, FastAPI, Supabase, and pgvector, delivering precise hybrid search results and a Chrome Extension UI.
I combine strong engineering fundamentals (TypeScript, Python, React, Next.js) with applied machine learning and blockchain skills to deliver reliable, performant products. I enjoy solving end-to-end problems, improving system efficiency, and building intuitive user experiences.
