Product oriented full-stack software engineer with 6 years of startup experience. Specializing in system architecture and backend development. Collaborating cross-functionally with design and product teams throughout the feature development life-cycle, working end-to-end across the stack. At an early point in my career, I decided to specialize in systems architecture and web development. However, my wider programming interests never ended. Some examples include infrastructure, devops, domain modeling, api design, css, frontend state management and so on. Thus I have become a product oriented full stack software engineer. And finally, I added solidity and smart contract development to my skillset. I believe our creations speak volumes about who we are. Not necessarily what we create, but definitely how we create, is almost like a microscope into our minds. To me, there's little that beats the feeling of overcoming oneself. Second to that is the joy of a job well done. For these reasons, I feel home when I get to be a part of a team of self-driven individuals who respect their crafts, taking on difficult challenges together while learning, growing, and intellectually nourishing one another.

Currently gainfully employed at HNT Labs, where I'm helping to build out the Towns protocol. As a Software Engineer at dYdX, I worked on building and maintaining a scalable and secure platform for trading crypto assets on a decentralized exchange. I use Go, Cosmos, and other technologies to develop, test, and deploy backend services and APIs that handle high volumes of transactions and data. Most recently at dYdX, I built, deployed, and monitored the dYdX chain, using Go, Cosmos, and other technologies. I owned the oracle pricing module and the prices daemon, and reduced block rejections during periods of price volatility by over 80%. I also built and deployed the delay-msg module, which supports the ethereum bridge for dYdX tokens.. I have a strong background in mathematical and computational science, having graduated from Stanford University with a B.S. and a graduate degree in Computer Science. I have also received multiple fellowships and certifications for my mentorship and research and skills in high performance computing. I am a self-starter, a quick learner, a strong communicator, and a mentor to others. I am passionate about creating innovative and impactful software solutions that make the world more open and connected.
