Blockchain Infrastructure & Systems Engineer

I build the infrastructure developers build on.

Compilers, realtime SDKs, and observability tooling for Solana, Avalanche, and Monad. Currently building Anvil — a transpiler that proves its own output byte-for-byte.

Three threads: compilers, realtime SDKs, and observability. Every claim below links to something you can go and check.

CompilersApr 2026 — presentActive

Anvil

Anchor → Pinocchio, with proof

Porting Anchor to a leaner runtime by hand is a correctness risk nobody wants. Anvil does the port, then proves it — both binaries run the same instructions in a real VM until every account matches byte for byte.

196 byte-equal differential tests, plus 181 cargo-build regression gates
14+ externally-authored programs cloned verbatim from public repos and verified byte-equal
30–48% compute-unit savings, measured side by side on a test validator
klend (63 instructions) builds SBF-green — the first top Solana lending protocol fully compilable to Pinocchio
Hackathon winner — Frontier × 100xDevs (7th place, $500 USDC)

Realtime SDKsJul 2026 — presentActive

SolSocket

Socket.io for Solana

Rooms, presence, broadcast, and state subscriptions for Solana. The Socket.io API developers already know, backed by on-chain state instead of a server they have to run.

Published to npm, open sourced under MIT

Realtime SDKsAug 2026 — presentActive

MonSocket

Socket.io for Monad — every action is a real transaction

Realtime multiplayer rooms with no game server and no join fee. Presence and messages are event logs — the cheapest bytes on an EVM — while shared room state lives in one storage slot, so a late joiner reads it instead of replaying history.

The Vault: a two-player co-op escape room. 3 levels, 9 puzzles impossible alone — every move, chat line, and key turn is a Monad transaction
Spectating is free and wallet-less, because reading the chain costs nothing
Fixed, tight gas limits: Monad charges gas_limit, not gas_used, so padding is real money
Reads sweep the Proposed block — speculative state one block ahead of finality
146-check BFS reachability prover over every puzzle graph, plus a two-client suite against live testnet

ObservabilityJul 2026 — presentActive

ICM Trace

Cross-chain execution debugging for Avalanche ICM/Teleporter

A successful source transaction tells you nothing about the destination. ICM Trace follows the message across chains, then re-simulates failures and decodes the revert — a root cause, not a dead end.

Surfaces delivered-but-reverted messages — the failure mode explorers miss
Built on @avapulse/icm-core, a lifecycle engine shared with AvaPulse
Ships with a litepaper, architecture doc, and an honest live-vs-planned roadmap

ObservabilityMar 2025 — Jun 2025Source available — deployment no longer running

DecentralWatch

Decentralized uptime monitoring network on Solana

A DePIN network where independent validators worldwide observe service availability and earn for verifiable uptime reports. A desktop client lets them sign proofs with a local wallet.

Scaled to 50+ validators across 6 countries in one month
Sub-100ms global validation latency via multi-region relays
Gasless WebSocket relay coordinating distributed validators, mirroring state on Solana

ObservabilityIn development

AvaPulse

Alerting-first observability for self-hosted Avalanche L1s

A relayer can report healthy while messages quietly stop being delivered. AvaPulse watches the message lifecycle instead of the process.

About

I started out building products — a DePIN network, an automation platform, a pile of dApps. Then I got more interested in the layer underneath.

Every project since has started as a specific annoyance. Anvil: wanting Anchor's ergonomics without its overhead. SolSocket: writing the same realtime plumbing twice. ICM Trace: a transaction that succeeded on one chain and did nothing on the other.

Studying Data Science at IIT Madras alongside it. Most of what I build ends up open source.
