22 pull requests to github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p and github.com/multiformats/py-multiaddr.
Alligned PeerStore and record handling with go-libp2p specifications, improving protocol correctness and interoperability.
Introduce peer autenticity mechanisms, including Certified-Address-Book and signed-peer-records, integrated across PubSub and Kademlia DHT message propagation.
Expanded multiaddr protocol support in WebRTC, Noise, garlic, ipcidr, http-path, improving compatibility with mordern libp2p transports.
Extended security and transport layers with Auto-TLS support, and PSK-based private networking (pnet). See #1072 and #1002.
Introduce Prometheus metrics to the core services, improving network oberservability.

May 2024 - August 2024

Expanded the testing infra of Floresta, a lighweigt and embeddable Bitcoin client.
Built tests for floresta-wire and sync-node including functional and stress tests for p2p and Electrum services.
Improved node reliability adn sync correcteness by fixing issues in chain-selection and peer-management.
Validated end-to-end behavior across chain, watch-only wallets, and Electrum bridge components.

Building an experimental p2p networking stack, rnet, with core abstractions (peer-identity, multiaddr, streams) with TCP transport and mplex-style multiplexing, enabling concurrent protocol execution and end-to-end Floodsub message propagation.
Built a p2p-federated-learning stack, combining libp2p networking with Hedera consensus and Akave-O3 storage, enabling trustless coordination, incentives and secure dataset/model exchange without credential sharing.
Built an agent-driven on-chain loyalty platform on NEAR, integrating AI-based user interaction with automated smart contract execution for program creation, reward tracking and redemption.
Wrote an end-to-end bitcoin block contruction pipeline in rust supporting full transaction validation (P2PKH, P2SH, P2WPKH, P2WSH), merkle-tree construction, and PoW mining, producing valid ~4M weight blocks with optimized fee selection.

P2P-Federated-Learning, a decentralized ML training network built with libp2p-based coordination, Akave-O3 storage and on-chain incentives; won Akave/Filecoin track at ETHGlobal New Delhi (2025).
Crowdnet, a decentralized event hosting platform on Vara blockchain win on-chain coordinaction and user-interaction; won 1st place (Beginner Track), Gear Mega Hackathon (2025).
LendingSapphire, a privacy-preserving lending protocol using Oasis confidential compute (ROFL) for secure on/off-chain execution; won 2nd prize (Oasis Track), ETHGlobal Singapore (2024).
InstaClaim, an instant insurance claim system using CDP AgentKit and Lit Protocol for decentralized encryption; won pool prize (Lit Protocol), ETHIndia (2024).
FairBET, a decentralized security layer for gambling based platforms using Nillion blind computations to prevent result manipulation; won 2nd prize (Nillion Track), ETHOnline (2024).
