Kushagra Sahu

I am a sophomore, pursuing Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering. I have worked with different startups on different projects (including Software Development, Machine Learning and Distributed Technology) since 2022.

I am interested in integrated applications of Machine Learning, IOT and Blockchain. I have been looking into different consensus algorithms of different blockchains such as TON, Ethereum, Quorum, EOS, Komodo, ByteBall, Solana, Stellar, Cairo and analysing their drawbacks and benefits. I have also started prominent Open source projects like:

NomineeVault: NomineeVault is a DeFi application designed to provide a solution for cryptocurrency users who wish to designate a
nominee for their wallet. In the event of inactivity, the user's funds are automatically transferred to the nominee's wallet. The initial implementation involves a Telegram mini app that integrates with the Telegram wallet.

Apart from that, I am an active content writer on LinkedIn. I've participated in numerous web2 and web3 hackathons and shared my experiences online. I'm also an active volunteer of Solana Group in my home city.

What are you good at?
Hacking stuff and creating cool things from existing stuff.

What drives you?
I am dead passionate about working on things that can bring a change. Having a strong reason is really necessary to keep things driving in the long run. Not everything you build must have a reason to exist, but when I am committed to something it always solves a real-world problem.

What’s the most complex project you have worked on?
There are a few things that I am proud of. Here is one of them:

NomineeVault: This was an ideation project which helped me onboard investors at the earliest phase possible.

Medata.Network: Empowering healthcare through crowd-sourced data.

Change is inevitable. Instead of resisting it, learn to embrace it.
Patience is key. When you encounter obstacles in valuable projects, don't give up. Finding a solution is what truly adds value.
Remember, there's a world beyond your computer screen.
