Why is it important?
An alerting crisis in the foreseeable future is inflation. In the late 90s, countries across the world abandoned the gold standard allowing them to print money freely. Due to excessively and concentrated printing this issue has now cascaded into massive debt bore by countries which diminishes the value of money by the day.

Why is it interesting?
The current financial system was built before technological advancements and we’ve only used technology to make access to finance easier which often wavers with economic crisis, wars and other factors.
Building a new financial system this time with technology like cryptography, decentralised systems & the internet allows us a chance to put people first in creating a sustainable and resilient currency that doesn’t waver.
The sheer intersection of finance, tech & design fascinates me.
What did I get up to?
I worked at Polygon Labs, a leading blockchain company. Where I collaborated with 8+ startups building financial products on top of their ecosystem.
I spent a year at Bungee Exchange, which is an aggregator of decentralised exchanges. Where, I focussed on building an auction based liquidity protocol — To allow borderless exchange of assets.
Contributed to Reserve Protocol, a platform that enables permissionless creation of asset-backed, yield-bearing & overcollateralised stablecoins.
Currently, I am an independent researcher in the space of decentralised finance. I collaborate with the cutting edge DeFi organisations & help them optimise their products.
