"Engineer.
Leader.
Builder."
I am a Blockchain Engineer and Engineering Leader with 4+ years building in startup environments — taking products from raw research all the way to production while owning architecture, team, and delivery simultaneously.
My core expertise spans blockchain protocol engineering, privacy systems (EVM, Monero-LWS, Bulletproofs++), applied cryptography, and systems design. Beyond protocol work, I've led cross-functional teams, driven product strategy, and made the architectural calls that determine whether something ships or stalls.
I hold a PG Diploma in AI & ML from IIT Guwahati. Alongside my engineering leadership roles, I operate Dhiva-Labs — an independent software laboratory. Through Dhiva-Labs, I have designed, engineered, and shipped 38+ finished open-source projects across 5 distribution platforms (Snap Store, Chrome Web Store, Google Play, Ubuntu APT/PPA, and GitHub). I'm actively seeking leadership roles: Tech Lead, Engineering Manager, CTO or founding-engineer positions where I can own more than a backlog.
I've owned architecture end-to-end across multiple production blockchain systems — not just contributing, but setting direction, making hard calls, and being accountable for outcomes.
Hired, mentored, and grown engineering teams at startups. I know how to create rhythm, unblock people, and keep quality high without burning the team out.
I've taken cryptographic research papers — Bulletproofs++, account abstraction, privacy protocols — and turned them into shipped, production-grade systems. Not many engineers do both.
Four years of zero-to-one product building means I thrive in ambiguity, move fast without losing rigour, and understand that the best engineers are also product thinkers.

"Let's Build Something Remarkable."
Dhiva-Labs (dhivalabs.com) is my independent software laboratory. I build, experiment, and ship software across AI/ML, developer tools, blockchain, cryptography, and systems engineering.
Every app, every line of cryptographic code, and every firmware module is engineered by one person from first principles — resulting in 38+ finished open-source projects published across 5 store platforms.
38+ Shipped Builds
All open-source, production-grade, and free to use.
