Projects:

  1. rnet: An experimental p2p networking stack for understanding rust and internal p2p mechanics.

    • Defined core P2P abstractions for peer identity, multiaddrs, connections, and stream-based protocol execution.
    • Implemented TCP transport and mplex-style stream multiplexing with concurrent logical streams.
    • Developed core protocols like floodsub with end-to-end peer-subscriptions, message propagation and deduplication.
    • Applied low-level async Rust patterns to manage IO, stream lifecycles, and protocol execution safely.

  1. P2P-Federated-Learning:- A p2p federated learning stack built with py-libp2p, Akave-O3 and Hedera hashgraph.

    • P2P network was built using py-libp2p for discovery, pubsub, and job coordination.
    • Hedera smart contracts + Consensus Service were used for trustless payments and training state auditing.
    • Decentralized dataset/model transfer was done with Akave-O3 presigned URLs (no credential sharing).
    • An incentive flow is designed where compute providers train locally and earn verifiable rewards.

  1. LoyaltyX:- An agentic AI-driven decentralized loyalty program platform on the Near blockchain.

    • Businesses register unique loyalty programs onchain via the LoyaltyX chatbot.
    • Customers can earn, track and redeem loyalty points onchain by interacting with the Al Agent.
    • Al-agent backend process user requests and executes the required onchian transactions.

  1. Tx-Validator:- A Bitcoin transaction validation and block mining script from scratch in Rust.

    • Developed end-to-end Bitcoin block mining pipeline: tx-validation, merkle construction and PoW block header mining.
    • Implemented signature verification scripts for legacy and SegWit transaction types (P2PKH, P2SH, P2WPKH, P2WSH).
    • Prioritized transactions using fee/weight ratio for optimal block composition.
    • Constructed final block (~4M weight, ~21.6M sats fees, 4.4K txs) meeting target difficulty and Bitcoin serialization rules.
