Hello, friend. I am a Senior Blockchain Protocol Engineer at Polygon Labs with focus on both the consensus and execution layer for the PoS chain. I am comfortable taking ambiguous, research-stage problems, giving them structure, and shipping them as performant and reliable systems. I also co-teach CSE 542: Blockchain Technologies at Ahmedabad University to CS undergrads. I enjoy working on projects or companies that have real impact and try to solve a genuine problem.

Some of the domains I am interested in are distributed systems and consensus, mechanism design, blockchains, databases and zero-knowledge cryptography.

Outside work, I touch grass, work out, listen to hip-hop and watch movies.
