About
Hi, I’m Akash Hegde, a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable systems using Rust and C++. I enjoy designing robust backend services and exploring the blockchain space, including Ethereum L1/L2, DeFi protocols, and cross‑chain interoperability.
I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Nanyang Technological University and actively researching MEV strategies and security while delivering multi‑node interoperability projects. I love turning ideas into reliable, high‑performance applications and value clean code, CI/CD practices, and a great developer experience.
