👋 About Me

I’m a Software Engineer based in New Delhi, India, focused on building
privacy-enhancing tools, blockchain infrastructure, and open-source software.

I enjoy working across the stack — from protocol-level systems to scalable backend services — with a strong emphasis on correctness, performance, and decentralization.
