About
Product founder focused on Solana with a vision to ship. I build infra, dev tools, and dApps end-to-end: product strategy, user research, and technical execution (Anchor programs, Next.js, APIs). Shipped indexing, rate limiting, learning platforms with on-chain credentials, reputation markets, and developer tooling—no handoffs. User-first and builder-led. Arcium Fellow, Turbin3 Builder, Solana Foundation grantee. See Projects for what I've built.
Work Experience
Selected as a founding Operator in Loyal’s Sector 0, contributing to the advancement of permissionless intelligence built on hardware-enforced confidential compute (Intel TDX & AMD SEV-SNP). Drive high-signal educational content, technical advocacy, product feedback, and ecosystem growth while helping onboard and support developers and privacy-conscious users.
Drove growth and marketing initiatives for Blackbox AI, expanding awareness and adoption of the platform through community engagement, content, and outreach.
Selected as a Top 20 Arcium Fellow. Built a decentralized poker game POC leveraging Arcium’s confidential compute layer. Designed protocol logic for game queueing, stateful GameAccount PDAs, private card dealing, and secure escrow-based buy-ins using off-chain computation and smart contracts.
Completed consecutive Turbin3 programs focused on advanced Solana development. Graduated from the Solana Core Cohort (July–August 2025) and the Advanced Solana Cohort (September–October 2025), gaining deep hands-on experience in building decentralized applications, on-chain systems, and full-stack Web3 solutions. Currently participating in the Accelerated Builders Cohort (October–November 2025), an intensive program centered on shipping production-ready Solana projects with mentorship from industry experts and rapid prototyping sessions.
Received a grant through Superteam Earn to build SolixDB, a Solana data indexing service that provides easy and reliable access to on-chain data. Leveraging Helius, SolixDB helps developers avoid building custom indexers and offers a simple, fast way to integrate blockchain data into apps.
Contributed to a project supported by Superteam UK by improving UI/UX with task-based fixes, implementing automatic NFT minting logic, and resolving key issues like avatar flickering. Developed new features including FAQs and collectibles, while ensuring clean, well-formatted code and seamless user interactions.
As a Full Stack Developer intern, I led the development of an integrated platform focused on interview prep, skill-building, and career growth. Designed interactive learning modules and mock interview tools, delivering a user-first experience while honing my passion for clean, scalable code.

I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
Solana Programs
A curated monorepo of Solana programs built with the Anchor framework and native Rust. Covers the full spectrum of on-chain development: AMM with liquidity pools, collateralized stablecoin with mint/burn mechanics, NFT marketplace, token staking with rewards, escrow service, vault, and MagicBlock ephemeral rollup integration. Ideal reference for Solana builders at any level.
Solana Stablecoin Standard
Open-source standard and SDK for stablecoins on Solana. Two presets: SSS-1 (minimal—mint/freeze authority, metadata) for internal tokens and DAO treasuries; SSS-2 (compliant—permanent delegate, transfer hook, on-chain blacklist) for regulated, USDC-class tokens. Layer 1 base SDK (token creation, role PDAs), Layer 2 compliance modules, CLI and TypeScript SDK. Production-ready templates for institutions and builders to fork and deploy.
Superteam Academy
LMS for Solana developers (Superteam Brasil). Courses, coding challenges, XP, streaks, achievements, on-chain credentials (Token-2022 XP, Metaplex cNFTs). Built the Next.js app and backend; clean service layer for the Anchor program (enrollment, credentials, leaderboard).
SolixDB
SolixDB is a Solana-native indexing service that streams and backfills on-chain data directly into your own database. It provides plug-and-play schema templates, reliable historical backfills, and real-time updates to help DeFi and analytics teams index less and ship faster.
Building excites me
Participating in hackathons has allowed me to solve real-world problems, rapidly prototype ideas, and collaborate with talented developers worldwide.

Solana Mobile Hackathon
Online
A lightweight protocol for renting verifiable micro-functions from smartphones, enabling trust-minimized execution and crypto-native monetization. Think of it as AWS Lambda for mobile devices - phones earn yield by performing tasks like uptime checks, presence proofs, and data collection, while dApps pay per use in SOL/SPL. Includes a mobile SDK, smart contract suite, and global device registry.

Solana Cypherpunk
Online
Built AnchorLabs, a visual developer tool for Solana Anchor programs that transforms how developers interact with on-chain programs. Upload any IDL file and instantly get an interactive interface to explore accounts, execute instructions, and debug transactions - no test scripts needed. Features real-time program state visualization, wallet integration for transaction signing, and automatic account deserialization. Designed to accelerate Solana development by eliminating repetitive testing workflows and providing instant feedback on program behavior.

x402 Mini Hackathon
Ahmedabad, India
Built PayGate, the x402 payment gateway for APIs that enables instant monetization of any API endpoint through Solana micropayments. Designed for the emerging agent economy, PayGate eliminates complex payment integrations - allowing developers to monetize their APIs with just one line of code. Features include automatic payment verification, real-time transaction tracking, flexible pricing models (per-request, subscription, tiered), and x402 protocol compliance for seamless agent discovery. Enables frictionless pay-per-request monetization with no minimum fees and instant settlement.
