Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years shipping production systems end-to-end — product UI, backend services, data pipelines, AI tooling, and onchain protocols. 10+ products taken from 0→1, from solo founder builds to multi-engineer launches at scale. Based in Delhi, India.
Currently building AI-powered marketplace tooling at Collect Shiny — an MCP server + RAG search layer over a card inventory, with agent flows for buying and listing (~80% less manual catalog time for ops). In parallel, own infra for the MON token ecosystem at Pixelmon Labs: presale/staking/vesting contracts, LayerZero cross-chain, and a Morpho-integrated lending product, with ~60% lower API latency on high-read endpoints.
Previously Tech Lead at PopSocial (Dubai) — promoted within 5 months, led 4 engineers through the launch of a SocialFi mobile app, NFT marketplace, and an in-house smart-wallet auth layer (Phinx). Before that: early-team engineer at Cykura shipping a concentrated-liquidity AMM on Solana plus marketplace APIs serving 10K+ users, and React dashboards at Surepass.
ETHIndia 2022 prize winner (The Graph track). Open-source contributor in Rust — merged Ctrl+P/Ctrl+N navigation into herdr-recent-navigator, syntax highlighting PR open on mdserve — plus product discussions on Herdr, and earlier work on QuickSwap, project-serum/swap-ui, and Polygon docs.
Built MON token lifecycle end-to-end: presale contracts, backend orchestration, vesting/staking, launchpool campaigns, and cross-chain expansion via LayerZero/OFT. Architected Collect Shiny card marketplace with Seaport/OpenSea integration, AI-assisted inventory automation (MCP + RAG), and Morpho vault lending/borrowing dApps. Designed LexiumVault for RWA tokenization using ERC4626/ERC7540/ERC7575 async vault architecture.
Built React Native SocialFi mobile product — profile, onboarding, and content feeds for Web2 users entering Web3. Promoted to lead Web3 + frontend efforts within 5 months, managing 4 engineers. Drove migration from third-party auth to in-house smart wallet/auth layer (Phinx). Integrated ENS-style identity, NFT contracts, marketplace, and walletconnect across EVM-compatible chains.
Early-hire engineer on CycloSwap — concentrated liquidity AMM on Solana. Built V1 frontend from scratch: wallet connection, swap/LP/position flows, and indexer-backed TVL/volume analytics APIs. Built marketplace features (orders, bids, auctions) with subgraph indexing, and moved backend persistence from MongoDB to PostgreSQL + Sequelize. Marketplace REST/GraphQL APIs and admin dashboards served 10K+ active users; ~50% MTTR reduction via observability logging and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
First product role — built reusable React components and page-level modules for verification/workflow-heavy B2B SaaS surfaces. Implemented state-driven flows (form states, success/error handling, conditional views) with typed React + Redux, and operator-facing dashboard experiences.
Computer Science & Engineering degree from Delhi. Coursework: Data Structures (C/C++), Algorithms, DBMS, Operating Systems, Computer Networks, OOP. Additional: Python automation, Unity/Blender game development, early ML/data analysis exposure.
Terminal-based decentralized pastebin and file-sharing app built at ETHGlobal New Delhi 2025. Focused on CLI-first UX for publishing and retrieving content through an onchain storage flow.
Full-stack, real-time DAG-based AI workflow builder. Drag-and-drop canvas editor with concurrent graph execution and durable background runs that survive serverless timeouts.
Local-first, browser-based reader that turns Grok-Wiki JSON artifacts into a navigable wiki with Mermaid diagrams — offline, no account, no telemetry.
