Hi there!

I am Shreyas Papinwar — a computer science graduate with a diverse background in FinTech, Blockchain, and building impactful products.

Experience

I have worked across various industries and roles, contributing to innovative products and platforms:

• Google Summer of Code – Contributed to Fedora (Redhat org) - Packit org.
• Flatlay Consultant – Worked on their iOS application to empower creator communities.
• Claro Money (UK) – Software Engineer at a FinTech company.
• Buddle Finance – Built a decentralized bridge for cross-chain applications; raised $50k from Gitcoin.
• Ricochet Exchange – Swap tokens by the second protocol made using superfluid at its core.
• Coria – UPI credit line for your crypto, an easy way to pay using UPI from your USDC - stopped due to regulatory issues.
• Scribbling AI – Medical scribe solution for clinicians.

My Journey

• Founded Clynica during college – a digital prescription and consultation platform using iPads – which, despite initial excitement, had to be shut down due to limited adoption and infrastructure gaps.
• Moved to the UK, where I worked at Claro Money, gaining deep insights into building consumer FinTech products and regulatory-compliant systems.
• Built Buddle Finance, a decentralized cross-chain bridge that raised $50k from Gitcoin. Though the project was sunset after the FTX collapse, it sharpened my understanding of market timing and user trust.
• Joined Ricochet Exchange as the lead smart contract engineer, where I architected token streaming protocols using Superfluid, with over $1M TVL at peak.
• Participated in Google Summer of Code, contributing to open-source at scale with Fedora/RedHat, and solidified my foundation in community-driven software.
• Launched Coria, an experimental FinTech app enabling UPI payments through USDC – a bold attempt that highlighted the challenges of navigating Indian crypto regulations.
• Built and scaled Scribbling AI, a medical scribe tool now in use by doctors across multiple specialties, helping automate clinical documentation using GPT-4 and real-time transcription APIs.
• Created Writify, a legal assistant for Indian lawyers, enabling smoother writ petition generation via voice-to-text and AI.
• Continued to participate in ETHGlobal hackathons, often ranking among the winners, which kept me sharp, inspired, and surrounded by some of the best builders in Web3.
