  • Developed an underlying app chain that synchronized cross-chain balance sheets using relayers on each network. Built using CosmosSDK.
  • Built solvers to facilitate efficient batch swaps on the app chain, improving transaction processing and scalability.
  • Used SP1 from Succinct in Rust to provide zk-proofs of batch swaps.
  • Designed and implemented a high-performance trading system on Solana, leveraging multi-threading for speed and efficiency.
  • Optimized transaction fees and colocated with multiple leader RPC nodes to achieve low-latency, high-throughput execution.
  • Gained extensive experience with on-chain activities including perpetual futures trading on decentralized exchanges (Hyperliquid, Jupiter), liquidity provision for AMMs, cross-chain bridging, and yield farming strategies.
  • Joined at seed stage, helping scale to multi-million dollar ARR and contributing to a successful $20M Series A fundraising round.

  • Championed a fraud detection system during a 48-hour intern hackathon, utilizing XGBoost and random forest models, resulting in a 99% accuracy for fraudulent Ethereum based transactions.
  • Further enriched the solution with a real-time transaction dashboard crafted with the Python Dash framework.

Machine Learning Intern

Two Six Technologies
06.2022 - 08.2022
  • Orchestrated the development of a predictive machine learning model targeting the spread of misinformation on Twitter. Used basic ML models such as k-means and logistic regression along with NLP classifiers.
  • Employed Python libraries such as Numpy,Scikit-Learn, and TensorFlow to transform JSON data and execute K-means
