About

I build the infrastructure layer where AI agents and blockchain converge. 8+ years shipping production systems across AI agent platforms, DeFi protocols, oracle infrastructure, cross-chain execution, and developer tooling — from zero users to hundreds of thousands, across some of the most technically complex environments in Web3. At Supra, I own the full L1 product stack as Director of Product Engineering: ▸ AI & agents — MCP server (unified RPC/indexer/oracle/NLP developer interface), AI oracle product layer, on-chain AI query execution, autonomous agent infrastructure ▸ DeFi & markets — OEV auction system (oracle-layer MEV capture, benchmarked against Chainlink SVR), liquidity routing, DEX integrations ▸ Cross-chain — Supranova Bridge (ETH ↔ SUPRA, expanding to EVM/Aptos/Solana), intent-based execution architecture with shadow wallets, gas abstraction, and liquidity abstraction ▸ Wallet & ecosystem — Starkey Wallet (700K+ wallets), staking, swaps, NFTs, onramp, novel key recovery ▸ Developer platform — SupraScan revamp, oracle feed APIs, ecosystem programs, builder support Earlier at Fetch.ai, I was core PM on one of Web3's first Autonomous Economic Agent (AEA) platforms — programmable on-chain agents with crypto wallet integration, multi-agent coordination, and live derivatives trading (Mettalex). Before that, I scaled AnCrypto Wallet from 0 to 400K+ users as bootstrapped CTO — no external capital, 25-person team, multiple revenue streams including B2B white-label licensing and a novel gasless transaction model. I also spent time at BSE building trading engine infrastructure, and at Antier Solutions architecting institutional-grade exchange systems (~100K TPS), stablecoin infrastructure, and DeFi protocols for clients across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

Work experience

Director of Product Engineering at Supra, May 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 4 mos, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Product strategy across Supra's full L1 stack (MoveVM + EVM) + led parallel 0→1 product tracks from concept through mainnet. AI & Developer Platform → Built Supra's MCP server: unified developer interface across RPC, indexer, oracle feeds, and NLP query tools — repositioning Supra as a developer platform beyond chain infrastructure. Directly aligned with multi-agent and AI orchestration paradigms. → Shipped AI oracle product layer: on-chain AI query execution, same-block VRF randomness, and conditional/scheduled automation (comparable to Chainlink Automation / Gelato) — three AI-adjacent product lines from 0→1. → Led SupraScan revamp with AI-enhanced UX — repositioned from a lookup tool to a developer onboarding surface; redefined success metrics around developer activation and time-to-first-transaction. DeFi & Oracle Infrastructure → Architecting OEV (Oracle Extractable Value) auction system: liquidation-driven MEV capture at the oracle update layer, benchmarked against Chainlink SVR feeds, with B2B monetization and protocol integration model. → Built VRF product (same-block randomness for gaming/gambling) and shipped on-chain dice game as a real-usage driver — escrow, betting logic, provably fair payouts. → Designed post-TGE token utility and ecosystem strategy: yield mechanisms, engagement loops, and incentive programs (Blast Off) to align token economics with on-chain product usage. Cross-Chain & Wallet → Led Supranova Bridge launch: liquidity routing, cross-chain messaging, security tradeoffs, and UX simplification. → Designed intent-based cross-chain execution architecture: shadow wallets, intent signing, gas abstraction, and liquidity abstraction — eliminating bridge/gas/chain-selection friction. → Drove Starkey Wallet from launch to 700K+ wallets: evolved from basic key management to a full ecosystem super-app. → Led mainnet launch: large-scale airdrop, exchange onboarding for TGE, reference implementations, and builder support infrastructure.

Co-founder, CTO at AnCrypto.io, Sep 2021 - May 2024 · 2 yrs 9 mos, Built and launched a multichain identity based non custodial wallet, reiterated designs by studying user behaviors to create a product market fit.
