Full-stack engineer building on Solana, Rust, and the web. I ship on-chain systems and developer tools, and I care most about correctness, code that holds up when real money is on the line. Based in India.

Recent: built Epoch, a non-custodial on-chain protocol on Solana. I built the core Anchor program (funds, vaults, settlement), a Rust backend and indexer, a real-time WebSocket layer, and the Next.js front end. Selections stay encrypted until lock via Arcium MPC, and all funds are controlled by program PDAs with conservation checks enforced on-chain. Live on mainnet, settled real user funds with no fund loss. Did a total of >3k$ volume on mainnet.

Now: going deeper on systems and low-level Rust and learning about AI/ML.

• async-runtime. A minimal async runtime written from scratch in Rust, no dependencies beyond libc. Hand-built Future/Waker from a raw RawWakerVTable, a kqueue reactor with raw unsafe FFI to the kernel, timer futures, and an async TCP echo server. Blocks in kevent while idle, so it uses 0.0% CPU where a busy-poll loop burns a full core. Built to understand how async actually works at the syscall boundary.
• veiled. Local-first terminal password manager in Rust. Argon2id key derivation, XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption, explicit memory zeroization, no network dependency. Published on crates.io.
• rsocket. The WebSocket protocol implemented from raw TCP in Rust. Frame parsing and HTTP upgrade handling, built to understand the wire byte by byte.
• order-matching-engine. Matching engine in Rust: Redis-backed order queue, in-memory book with price-time priority, partial fills, real-time fills over WebSocket. Designed to avoid double-matching across API instances.
• solx. Compute-unit profiler for Solana mainnet transactions. Groups execution by instruction and flags CU hotspots.
• kickoff. A telegram bot that turns any group chat into a mini sportsbook for the World Cup.
• Nexus. An AI-powered DeFi trading agent built on Cronos blockchain, featuring x402 micropayments for premium market data and seamless token swaps.

Merged contributions to Solana ecosystem repos: Solana Foundation Explorer, Surfpool, and wallet-ui.
