Background & Focus

A curious builder blending full-stack craft with AI, LLMs, MCP & Agentic Workflows.

Hi, I'm Dikshant 👋

I'm a Software Development Engineer with ~2 years of full-time engineering experience. I currently work at Chainscore Labs, where I started as an intern and now contribute as a full-time SDE.

My day-to-day spans the full stack and goes a few layers below it. I've built complete trading frontends in Next.js / React / TypeScript, shipped Nest.js, Node.js / Express APIs with WebSocket services supporting thousands of concurrent users, and currently work on lower-level systems: architecting computational pipelines and consensus mechanisms in Python, and contributing to a high-performance SDK in C for a decentralized compute protocol (JAM, in the Polkadot ecosystem).

Less than any single domain, what pulls me in are problems where correctness, performance, and concurrency actually matter - APIs under load, real-time data, networking, protocols, virtual machines.

Outside of work

Experimenting with agentic workflows and LLM tooling - building RAG systems, custom MCP servers, and eval harnesses to test agent reliability
Working through System Design problems (LLD + HLD) in C++ and Go
Building side projects to learn distributed systems internals - most recently Quiver, a QUIC-native pub/sub message broker written from scratch in Python

🚀 Currently open to SDE / SDE-2 / Software Engineer roles - especially focused on frontend, backend, distributed systems, networking, or systems software. If you're hiring or know of a fit, I'd love to hear from you.

Joined in July 2024 as an intern and 3 month later transitioned to full-time SDE. Work spans the full stack and a few layers below it - from real-time trading UIs to protocol-level SDKs. Currently focused on systems where correctness, performance, and concurrency actually matter.
- Built a responsive, feature-rich UI for a staking, casino, and sports betting platform using React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, and GSAP, integrating crypto wallets with Wagmi and RainbowKit for seamless user onboarding.
- Engineered a real-time notification system using Server-Sent Events (SSE), enabling low-latency live updates across enterprise workflows.
- Developed Node.js / Express APIs with WebSocket services for real-time data, transaction handling, and secure wallet deposit / withdrawal flows, supporting thousands of concurrent users.
- Co-developing JAM (Join-Accumulate Machine) - Polkadot's next-gen protocol from Gavin Wood.
- Contributing to a high-performance SDK in C with QUIC / TLS 1.3 networking - designed for 1,000+ validators at sub-2s latency.
- Architecting computational pipelines and consensus mechanisms in Python: off-chain auditing, dispute resolution, work-report distribution, adaptive tranche logic.
- Shipped 20k+ LOC to TelosX, a Layer-1 crypto exchange - trading frontends in Next.js + TypeScript with real-time WebSocket feeds, ~40% UI perf improvement for 10k+ users.
- Built Node.js / Express APIs with WebSocket services supporting thousands of concurrent users.
