About
Purple Pay, a fast-growing fintech startup, is where I apply my skills and passion as a software engineer. I work with cutting-edge technologies such as decentralized identities (DIDs) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to create scalable and secure solutions for online payments and transactions. I collaborate with a talented and diverse team of engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver high-quality products and features that meet the needs and expectations of our customers and partners. I am also a Syndicate at Satoshi Lab at Next Tech Lab, a student-run research and innovation lab that focuses on blockchain, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing. I lead and contribute to various projects and initiatives that aim to advance the state of the art in these domains and create social impact. One of my recent achievements was winning the Best Public Goods Project award at ETHIndia'22 Polygon, a prestigious hackathon and fellowship program, for developing Reclaim Protocol, a decentralized platform for reclaiming digital assets and identities. I am pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science at SRM University, where I also participate in various clubs and communities that foster learning and innovation.
