Shlok Jagtap

I’m a Full Stack & Blockchain Developer specializing in building scalable Web3 applications and high-performance backend systems. Currently, I work as a Full Stack Developer at Up&Up Life, where I architect microservice-based platforms serving 100K+ daily active users, focusing on performance, reliability, and cloud-native scalability.

I have strong experience across blockchain protocols, backend engineering, and DevOps, with hands-on work in Solidity, Polkadot/Substrate, NestJS, AWS, and distributed systems. I’ve optimized production APIs to achieve sub-200ms p95 latency, led 10× traffic scaling without infrastructure expansion, and implemented SRE-grade observability using Prometheus and Grafana.

I’m a winner of 14+ blockchain hackathons including ETH India and ETH Mumbai, and a Polkadot Blockchain Academy 2025 scholar, selected among the top 0.1% globally. Previously, I led blockchain development for multiple startups, secured a $100K XDC Network grant, and built AI-powered, decentralized platforms used by thousands of users.

Beyond building, I’m passionate about protocol engineering, DeFi, high-frequency trading systems, and mentoring—having guided 500+ students and delivered 20+ technical workshops on blockchain and smart contract security.
