Software engineer — Andamio
Core developer at Andamio, shipping protocol infrastructure end to end. Lately, branching into quantum computing research — most recently a merged contribution to Mitiq.
The Andamio protocol's block explorer. Protocol events were invisible without reading raw chain data, so I built a Go indexer over UTxORPC for low-latency access, with an HTMX frontend that keeps the JavaScript budget near zero.
Notable — no client framework at all: server-rendered fragments over the wire.
The typed integration surface for Andamio: transaction building, state queries, and wallet flows — so teams ship on the protocol without touching raw UTxO logic. I'm the maintainer.
Notable — API designed around what integrators asked for, not what the protocol exposes.
A worked example of Clifford Data Regression — a quantum error-mitigation technique — for Mitiq, the field's reference error-mitigation library. Uses unitaryfoundation's Clifft near-Clifford simulator to generate CDR's training data on a circuit built directly in a Clifford + Rz gateset.
Notable — reviewed and merged by three maintainers, including Clifft's own author.
Contributions across Andamio, Gimbalabs, and Cardano ecosystem repos.
Protocol delivery end to end: backend architecture, product, and developer relations.
Open-source Cardano education and developer community.
Active delegated representative; constitutional workshop participant (Bangalore, 2024).
Also — Buidler Fest #2, a gathering of dedicated Cardano builders.
Open to research collaborations and interesting infrastructure problems.
