A few things
I've built

everything on github ↗
001↗
TravelID 2.0
Polkadot hackathon build (3rd · $1k): SHA-256 doc hashes anchored on-chain via Subxt system remarks—Rust Axum + SQLx/PostgreSQL; verifiers compare hashes only (QR/links, no raw passport blob). React, Polkadot.js / Talisman, shadcn, TanStack Query. Full story and demo on Devpost.

Garden Watchers
& Bots
Watcher services and monitoring bots that still run at Hashira. A Twitter bot that posts trade cards for any $10K+ swap, a Strava-to-Discord bridge for the team, and a TypeScript arbitrage bot. Three full rewrites in, still in production.

Garden Analyzer
Discord insight bot for Garden.Finance (Al-Lyzer): commands post embed-style metrics—e.g. 82% Q2-vs-Q1 volume drop, 304% new-user growth, 98% Starknet outbound dominance—without PMs in SQL. OpenClaw orchestrates; Go and TypeScript under the hood.

Animax
React Native anime streaming app — browse, search, episode playback. Tuned API fetches and screen transitions so it stays snappy on a 4G phone with a weak signal.

Catalog Crypto API
Rust REST API deployed on Render with PostgreSQL behind it. SQLx migrations keep schema changes explicit and reviewable; logging is structured enough to follow requests through production logs. The codebase splits HTTP handling from data access so it reads like a small service rather than a single-file tutorial.

Experience

Where I've
been working

A year and a half of backend work, mostly at Hashira on Garden.Finance. Watcher services, on-chain extraction pipelines, Lightning and Spark integrations in Rust, a Discord insight bot over Garden data (OpenClaw — metrics like volume, growth, and route mix, not ad-hoc SQL), and the bots the team still checks every morning. Wrapped that chapter in April 2026 — open to what's next.

Also own a chunk of the deployment scripts on our self-hosted Gitea.

Python Instructor (Part-time)May — Aug 2022

About
Started with Java in college.
Got paid to write Rust.

I'm Lohith, based in Vijayawada. B.Tech in Computer Science & Data Science from NRI Institute of Technology, finished in 2026 — Google Developers Club member, first place in our SQL-app competition somewhere along the way.

Most of my work is backend. Go and Rust for production stuff, Node when the team needs it. On the side I've shipped two React Native apps to the Play Store and a stack of automation bots that I keep telling myself I'll consolidate one day.

Ran Arch for six months before switching to an M5 Mac. RE2 Remake was the first game I bought with my own money. Currently between jobs, re-watching Re:Zero, and reading more light novels than I should.
