DeFi engineer based in South Asia, currently working as a founding engineer and building an asset management protocol onchain. Most of my latest work sits at the intersection of protocol research, smart contract development, and financial infrastructure, with a focus on DeFi architecture, oracle and off-chain systems, indexing, protocol risk, and securitization models.
Started into engineering with distributed systems in general, High Performance Computing fundamentals & research, web development in early 2023 before transitioning into crypto full-time in 2024. Since then, I've spent most of my time studying and building decentralized financial systems, balancing implementation with independent research, technical writing, and long-form exploration of protocol design. I enjoy reading whitepapers, understanding market structure, and exploring how ideas from traditional finance can be adapted to open, programmable financial networks.
I generally prefer small teams, independent ownership, and research-driven engineering. Whether working solo or collaboratively, I'm most comfortable in building base/application protocols that require critical thinking, system design, efficient risk management and scalable financial structure.
