Hello | Vanakkam | Namaste

I am a blockchain researcher turned DevRel with over 8 years of expertise in the field. I currently lead the Developer relations vertical at Okto by CoinDCX. Proficient in Blockchains, Web3, and cryptography, I am actively involved in the technology community as the leader of the Phoenix Guild Chennai chapter. This regional community aims to empower individuals in Tamil Nadu in the realm of Web3. I enjoy participating in discussions on the future of technology, particularly in the Web3 domain, and dedicate my free time to building in web3, delivering technical talks and workshops, sharing my knowledge and passion with others.

I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi. I worked with Prof. Vinay J. Ribeiro and Prof. Subodh V. Sharma. My research was primarily on scaling PoW blockchain systems.

Prior to my PhD journey, I gained my masters in software engineering and worked as a data warehouse modeller. I have been a visiting scholar at IBM India Research Labs.
