My journey in Ethereum and blockchain technology spans several years, fueled by the potential of decentralized applications to transform industries. Over time, I've dedicated myself to mastering cryptography, particularly zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), where I’m captivated by both their mathematical foundations and real-world applications. My focus on these advanced areas has allowed me to work on impactful projects and dive into deep research, such as my recent work on Circle STARKs.

Throughout various hackathons and projects, I’ve built a foundation in developing practical and innovative solutions within the Ethereum space. Some notable projects include AttestMe, which I built during Starkhack; Substake, developed at EthIndia last year; and other projects like Transify, Medcord, and Eastore. Each of these experiences has been a unique opportunity to contribute to blockchain’s growing ecosystem and has strengthened my skills in tackling complex cryptographic and decentralized challenges.

My time at Invisible Garden has further refined my expertise, allowing me to work on high-impact projects, such as implementing a Key-Lattice Framework for Concurrent Group Messaging and developing zklings—an educational tool similar to "rustlings" but focused on ZK maths. These projects honed my problem-solving skills within zero-knowledge and cryptographic contexts while adding value to the broader zk community.

Beyond technical skills, my participation in a collaborative community has fostered valuable connections with mentors and peers, giving me diverse perspectives and inspiring new ideas. EthIndia offers a unique environment to build on this momentum. With my experience in ZKPs, cryptography, and practical Ethereum development, I am excited to contribute to EthIndia, where I can continue pushing the boundaries of decentralized technology, collaborating on innovative projects, and refining my ideas in a vibrant, competitive setting.
