Mugdha Patil

I'm passionate about exploring the innovative potential of blockchain technology, particularly in areas like decentralized finance (DeFi) and accessible development. My recent achievement at EthGlobal San Francisco (Oct 2024), where I secured 3rd place in the SKALE Network's "Best Use of Zero Gas Fees" category, exemplifies this. I developed a DEX solution that leverages SKALE's unique capabilities to minimize frontrunning MEVs by splitting swap orders. This project involved building a simulated trading environment using Solidity smart contracts, Next.js, and Ethers.js, showcasing my full-stack blockchain development skills.

My research background further strengthens my analytical and problem-solving abilities. Under the mentorship of Dr. Lennart Ante at the Blockchain Research Lab, I led a systematic literature review examining the intersection of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and gambling. This experience honed my research skills and deepened my understanding of the broader blockchain landscape.

I'm driven by the potential of blockchain to create positive change and am eager to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
