Ashwin Selvaraj

I'm a Blockchain & Full-Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience building products from idea to production.

I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, product, and experimentation — especially when there's a difficult problem to solve and a short deadline to build under.

🚀 Things I've built

Whistling Citizen

A civic-tech platform focused on making it easier for citizens to report local issues and track them through the resolution process.

Quests & Games

A Web3 engagement platform where brands and communities can create quests and games using NFTs, tokens, XP and on-chain interactions.

I've also worked on products involving prediction markets, gaming, fantasy sports, Telegram Mini Apps, fintech applications, and blockchain infrastructure.

🏆 Hackathons

I've participated in multiple hackathons and Web3-focused building events.

Hackathons are where I enjoy myself the most because there is no room for overthinking. You have an idea, a limited amount of time, a team, and you have to make something work.

They've taught me to:

Break ambitious ideas into something shippable
Learn new technologies extremely quickly
Build with constraints
Work effectively with new teams
Focus on the product rather than just the technology
🧠 How I like to build

I prefer shipping over over-engineering.

Give me a problem, a few constraints, and a good team, and I'll figure out the technology along the way.

I'm particularly interested in consumer Web3, decentralized applications, prediction markets, AI × Web3, and products that bring blockchain to users who don't necessarily care that blockchain is underneath.

🤝 Let's build

I'm always interested in meeting people who are building ambitious things, experimenting with new technologies, or trying to solve problems that haven't been solved well yet.
