Kandala Meenakshi

👋 Hey there! I'm Kandala Meenakshi, a passionate blockchain enthusiast, backend technology aficionado, and system design maven. My journey is an exciting blend of research, explore, code and cryptography, and I'm thrilled to share it with you.

📚 I hold a BTech degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the International Institute of Information Technology, Naya Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India.

🛠️ My toolkit includes platforms like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperledger, as well as frameworks such as Spring Boot, Node.js, and Flask. I'm proficient in a variety of programming languages, including Java, Python, Solidity, and more. My networking skills extend to tools like Wireshark and NetSim, and I've also dabbled in hardware prototyping with Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi.

💼 In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at CR RAO AIMSCS, I'm deeply involved in Ethereum, Clef, Geth, IPFS, and ECC-based cryptography. I work on decentralized applications, system design, and various APIs. In my previous experiences, I took the lead in designing and developing the Knuct Blockchain, a Layer 1 solution with unique consensus mechanisms, contributed to building decentralized applications.

📖 I co-authored a paper titled "Blockchain-Based Architecture and Solution for Secure Digital Payment System" presented at the 2021 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC).

🌐 I recently had the privilege of returning to my alma mater, IIIT-Naya Raipur, to demonstrate the Knuct Blockchain and deliver a talk on Ethereum Blockchain Applications. Sharing insights and knowledge with the next generation was an inspiring experience.

🎯 Beyond my tech life, I love reading, dancing, and traveling. Exploring new technologies, working on research-based projects, and embracing the challenges of software development are my true passions. I thrive on being fully engaged in every moment and am always up for a good time with friends.

Join me on this exciting journey where research, coding, and a zest for life come together to create innovative solutions in the world of blockchain and technology. Let's connect and collaborate to build something new, and to learn..!
