After completing my master's in engineering and capstone from Liverpool University, my journey truly began in 2015. With fervor and determination, I swiftly expanded my operation, becoming a formidable force within the Bitcoin mining community over nine enriching years. As I delved deeper into the world of blockchain technology, I found myself immersed in its dynamic landscape, playing pivotal roles in over 13 blockchain companies and emerging as a respected advocate for Bitcoin and the web3 industry. Sharing insights became second nature to me, as I frequently engaged with audiences at prestigious events and seminars hosted by universities and private organizations.
Over the years, I became deeply involved in the world of blockchain technology, playing various roles in numerous blockchain companies. Alongside, I managed my architecture and engineering firm, alongside ventures in real estate. My work in Green Infrastructure research gained recognition, earning features in leading Indian newspapers and commendations from esteemed figures such as the Mayor of Oldham, UK.
Sports have always been a significant part of my life. As a former national-level basketball player and football enthusiast, I've learned valuable lessons about teamwork and perseverance.
Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, I constantly explore avenues for innovation and solutions that resonate with the world. While balancing work and life can be challenging, I'm committed to finding harmony and embracing moments of serenity. Join me on this journey as we strive to create a brighter future, one innovation at a time.
