I would like to describe myself as a self-motivated person with a knack for solving problems. This led me to learn and apply the two most prominent technologies today, blockchain and machine learning. The adoption of blockchain in mainstream business and making blockchain more scalable and ready for industry standards are the two greatest driving forces behind my career, and this challenge aligns with my long-term career objective also.
In the technical aspect, I am well versed in blockchain technologies with hands-on experience in Ethereum, quorum, hyperledger fabric, and R3 Corda. Python, Javascript, and golang, Rust are some of my favorite go-to languages for developing different layers of solutions. I am well versed with MEAN stack development, python Django, and flask, also used scikit learn for machine learning projects. Other aspects of my interest include chatbot, NLP, socket.io, AWS etc.
I have around 6 years of experience in blockchain technology. I have worked in TCS ILP Innovations Lab as a blockchain developer and team lead, where I have developed various POCs in multiple business domains. I have also served as a Lead faculty at ILP center Trivandrum, TCS for blockchain training.
The most adventurous part of my career so far was leading a team of 15 people in the TCS Blockchain Practice wings, where I was exposed to the business functions as well. Serving as a bridge between the business team and the developer team gave me new directions to learning and enabling my team to reach targets.
I have worked for an ambitious startup Simplyfi Softech as a Senior Blockchain Developer where we developed and contributed to the project Trubloq, a telecom data sharing platform for the Indian service provider in the telco industry. My role includes of researching new aspects of the blockchain journey, architecting, and developing scalable systems.

Currently, at Stardust Technologies, Singapore we are building a perpetual trading platform for crypto assets called Ariel Finance as a Co-Founder and CTO.

At events in the web3 community, we always look forward to meeting teams with similar synergies to form a possible collaborative partnership for mutual growth, also looking to meet dynamic developers and contribute to the growth of the blockchain ecosystem.

"I like to break things and rebuild them better", and to my belief hackathons are great places to learn and built something that matters.
Thank you
