Hi, I'm Ansh.

I build systems that have to keep running under load — real-time round engines, Kafka pipelines that fan payment events across services, settlement paths that cannot double-pay.

Lately I'm taking the same instincts on-chain: intent-based execution, verifiable state, products I ship rather than pitch.

Live Real-Money Gaming Platform

2024 — now

Round engine, socket layer, and settlement path for a live real-money product. Owned end to end.

  • Kafka event pipeline fans wager, result, and payout events across services with strict ordering and replay.
  • Idempotent settlement — retries, timeouts, and partial failures cannot double-pay.
  • Redis for hot round state, MongoDB for the durable ledger.
  • Rewrote hot paths and reshaped indexes for a ~30% lift in backend throughput.
  • Docker, CI/CD, and the monitoring around the whole stack.

Comet Currency

2024 — 2025

Rewrote the pricing surface and moved the backend to end-to-end type safety.

  • Rebuilt the quote engine against faster reference data.
  • Migrated the REST layer to tRPC — no more contract drift between the Next.js client and Node backend.
  • Extended the PostgreSQL model and shipped the integrations that broadened payment corridors.

Startup Mobile Product

2024 — 2025

Led a cross-platform mobile product from empty repo to storefront.

  • React Native (Expo) across iOS and Android, plus the Express backend behind it.
  • Stripe, Razorpay, and Apple / Google IAP wired together with reconciled analytics.
  • AWS deployments and CI/CD; sat in on product calls when technical shape drove strategy.

Experience

what I've done
  • Own the real-time round engine and socket layer; sub-second settlement under sustained load.
  • Designed the Kafka event pipeline for wager, result, and payout events — strict ordering, replayable settlement.
  • Idempotent payment paths that survive retries and partial failure.
  • Rewrote hot paths and reshaped Mongo indexes for a ~30% throughput lift.
  • Set the architecture standards new services ship against.
  • Led React Native (Expo) across iOS and Android; shipped the core product end to end.
  • Backend on Express with high-reliability REST APIs.
  • Payments through Stripe, Razorpay, and Apple / Google IAP with reconciled analytics.
  • Owned AWS deployments and the CI/CD pipeline.
  • Rewrote the pricing and quote engine against faster reference data.
  • Migrated the REST surface to end-to-end type-safe tRPC.
  • Extended the PostgreSQL model and shipped integrations that widened the product surface.
  • Web products across the stack — interfaces plus the server-side logic behind them.
  • Delivered inside agile teams: small groups, tight loops, real deadlines.
