Mr. Khatri
Building production-grade systems across the stack: scalable backends in Python, .NET and Rust, secure smart contracts on EVM and Sui Move, and AI-powered agents that tie them together.
Full-stack engineer building
production systems across the stack
7+ years of software engineering across scalable backends, distributed systems, blockchain protocols and AI-powered agents. I design, secure and ship systems that have to hold up in production.
I came up on the backend side, designing real-time food-delivery dispatch systems, ed-tech platforms and financial domains with clean architecture and explicit invariants on Python, .NET and Rust stacks.
Most recently I've been building Makara, an open-source Entity-Component-System framework for fully on-chain games on Sui. Move-native ECS primitives with type-safe component registration, composable combat, inventory and movement modules, and a TypeScript SDK with PTB orchestration that keeps player actions gas-efficient and batched.
And lately I'm fascinated by the seam between LLM agents, backend orchestration and on-chain execution: autonomous systems that reason about, generate and ship code under verifiable guardrails.

Selected protocols, frameworks and on-chain systems
A curated look at the work I'm proudest of: production-grade infrastructure, on-chain gaming frameworks and AI-powered blockchain agents.
Architecture, security and the deep systems work
Areas where I've gone deepest, and where I do my best work.
Upgradeable Smart Contracts
UUPS proxy patterns, storage layout hygiene and timelocked governance for long-lived protocols.
- UUPS / Transparent proxies
- Storage gap discipline
- Migration playbooks
Cross-chain Systems
Bridges, intent settlement and message-passing built around real adversarial models, not happy paths.
- Intent settlement
- Multi-source signatures
- Replay & finality safety
DeFi Engineering
AMMs, vaults, lending and yield primitives, engineered for capital efficiency and exit liquidity.
- ERC-4626 vaults
- Oracle hardening
- Fee & accounting invariants
AI + Blockchain Integration
LLM-orchestrated agents with on-chain tool routing, deterministic guardrails and verifiable execution.
- Agent tooling
- Prompt → contract
- On-chain verification
Smart Contract Security
Threat modeling, invariant testing and remediation: Foundry, Echidna, Slither and Move Prover in production loops.
- Invariant fuzzing
- Static analysis
- Post-audit remediation
Protocol Architecture
Modular protocols with explicit boundaries; system maps, state machines and migration semantics designed up-front.
- Module boundaries
- Event-first design
- Backwards-compatible evolution
On-chain Gaming
ECS frameworks, deterministic simulation and commit-reveal mechanics built for fully on-chain game economies.
- ECS in Move
- Commit-reveal
- Verifiable randomness
Backend Architecture
Production-grade backend systems across DRF (Django REST Framework), .NET web apps and Rust services, designed with clean architecture and explicit boundaries.
- DRF / Django
- .NET web apps
- Rust services
Building in public, contributing upstream
I'm a strong believer that the best Web3 systems are built openly: shared standards, public research, audited primitives.

Open-source contributions
Open-source philosophy
Standards should be auditable. Primitives should be composable. Security should be a shared resource, not a private moat. I contribute to the parts of Web3 I want to see exist, and I publish patterns I'd want my own dependencies to follow.
