I have recently joined the Whatsapp calling team at Meta as a Software Engineer.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Intertrust, I developed smart contracts for web3 projects that enable secure and transparent transactions for NFT marketplaces. I built a scalable and efficient microservices backend using Golang, Docker, and AWS EKS, supporting millions of monthly requests and over 100,000 assets sold in the last 3 months. 

I have a Master of Engineering degree from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Engineering degree with Industrial Experience from The University of Manchester. I also have a Programming Certificate from Harvard Extension School. I have multiple patents and certifications in the fields of data management, security, and cryptography. I am proficient in Java, Python, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and intermediate in Golang and Swift. I am passionate about blockchain, astrophysics, and tennis.
