Hello! I'm Kanishka, a seasoned software engineer with a profound passion for blockchain technology and innovative software solutions. Since embarking on my coding journey in 2006, I've navigated through an array of programming languages and tech stacks, with a deep dive into Go, Solidity, C++, JavaScript, and Rust, shaping the future of decentralized applications and systems.

My professional path has led me through varied experiences, from contributing to high-impact blockchain projects to enhancing system performance and security across multiple domains. While my journey has had its share of challenges, it has been rich with growth, leading me to focus on the power of open-source contributions and community-driven development.

In my current pursuits, I'm deeply involved in leveraging AI and ML to tackle pressing issues, mirroring my commitment to using cutting-edge technology for meaningful change. Beyond my professional endeavours, I am dedicated to contributing to the open-source ecosystem, where I share my knowledge, mentor emerging developers, and collaborate on projects that push the boundaries of what technology can achieve.

Some of my notable contributions include:

• Leading the development of Web3Auth's Sapphire Network; a globally available, horizontally scalable, and fault tolerant network.
• Leading efforts to improve Torus node, eliminating memory leaks and improving performance

I firmly believe in the ethos of free and open-source software (FOSS), advocating for its sustainability and the fair recognition of contributors. The balance between benefiting from the community's collective wisdom and supporting those who lay the foundations of our digital infrastructure is crucial. To this end, I champion various sustainability models for FOSS, including financial backing and active community involvement, ensuring a vibrant ecosystem for future innovations.

The journey through tech is one of continuous learning and sharing. As we stand on the shoulders of giants, it's our responsibility to support and sustain the platforms and tools we rely on. Let's collaborate, innovate, and contribute to a future where technology empowers everyone, everywhere.
