👋 Hey, I'm Samrat.
I build backends &
blockchain things.

Software & blockchain developer based in Bangalore. I love taking gnarly infrastructure ideas and making them feel obvious — that instinct shapes both the products I ship and the writing I publish.

⬡

On-chain stuff

Solidity contracts, EVM tooling, DeFi mechanics. Built & shipped a perpetual futures DEX.
