I build communities and ecosystems at the intersection of Web3, open-source, and developer infrastructure. Over the past few years, I co-founded and ran Arweave India & APAC events — designing and executing a full-ecosystem development program for founders, incubating 20+ projects, and producing a flagship event that drew 340+ attendees, with the founder of Arweave as the keynote. Several of the projects we incubated became core permaweb infrastructure; one raised a seed round at a $2.5M valuation. The program also produced The Winston Show podcast and the Humanity & Heritage creative series, both of which were featured in Arweave's 2025 Year in Review, generating 80K+ impressions in 10 videos.

My core focus areas include Web3 privacy, community development, launching Web3 ventures, supporting founder growth, fostering communities to build the next internet, and devising Web3 go-to-market strategies.
I have been involved in 30+ international hackathons as a mentor, judge, and speaker — and on the organizing side for Hack This Fall, Tech Ingenious 4.0, and Trek the Hill, alongside 20+ community events. Speaking engagements include DevX Vadodara, IGDTUW Delhi, Hack the Mountains (judge/mentor), and CoinDCX Vadodara.

I'm also a cybersecurity researcher, currently exploring smart contract auditing.
Certifications: CEH v11, SC-200, SC-900, MTA. Two of my research papers — covering IoT, cyberextortion, and the cyber kill chain — have been published in Australian academic magazines.

Outside of professional commitments, when I'm away from my computer (a rare sight), I'm reading, playing Table Tennis, or going on long or short bike tours with friends.
