Cryptographer & builder
01
I build things at the intersection of cryptography and everyday products — the kind of work where math meets people.
Currently building privacy infrastructure for decentralized finance at encrypt.trade. Before this — Goldman Sachs, Amazon, IIT Kharagpur.

Current work
encrypt.trade
A privacy layer for Solana. Private swaps, cross-chain bridging, encrypted transfers — threshold encryption and zero-knowledge proofs under the hood. Built with my co-founder Nitanshu.

About
I studied at IIT Kharagpur, then spent time at Goldman Sachs and Amazon. Somewhere along the way I decided I wanted to build my own things.
Four years in crypto — starting on Ethereum, eventually moving to Solana. Most of my work sits at the boundary of applied cryptography and products real people can use.
Outside of work — cooking, comedy, and music.
