Nithin Mengani

Developer Relations/Blockchain Engineer/Smart Contracts/Full-Stack

I turn hard protocols into things developers actually ship: docs, SDKs, live demos, and the code underneath. Most recently Developer Relations at KiraPay. Now looking for my next team.

Portrait of Nithin Mengani
about

Hi, I'm Nithin.

A developer-relations engineer and builder from Hyderabad, with a B.Tech in CSE (Blockchain specialization) from Bennett University, where I graduated top of my cohort at a 9.49 GPA.

I've shipped smart contracts, built full-stack products, and written the SDKs and docs developers actually use, then gotten on stage to teach them. I like the whole span of the work: from the contract on-chain to the React frontend to the person in the third row who's stuck.

Looking for a team building in payments, DeFi, or crypto infrastructure where developer relations, hands-on engineering, and full-stack all matter.

capabilities

Three things I do well

01 / 03
01

Developer Relations

I make the first hour a developer spends with your protocol feel effortless, from README to a shipped integration.

  • Docs, SDK/API guides & starter templates
  • Workshops & live-coding sessions
  • Hands-on integration support
  • Community building around the product
02

Blockchain & Smart Contracts

I don't just talk about the code; I ship it. Solidity and multichain tooling across Solana, EVM & more.

  • Smart contracts: presale, staking, settlements
  • Fixed a critical production vulnerability
  • Gasless & multi-token stablecoin flows
  • Solana, Tron, EVM, ICP, Algorand
03

Full-Stack Engineering

End-to-end product work, from database and API design to polished, fast React frontends.

  • Next.js / React / TypeScript UIs
  • Backend & database architecture
  • Frontends for protocols & dashboards
  • Applied cryptography: zk, TEE, TLS, BLS

I can hold a room

// 5 to 500 people
Keynotes, workshops, and live-coding sessions, from packed university auditoriums to builder cohorts and meetups. Comfortable explaining a smart-contract flow or a live demo to five people or five hundred.

Things I've built

// side projects
solana · defi · intents

ParleySwap

An intent-based swapping protocol on Solana. Users express what they want (the outcome, not the route), and the protocol handles finding and executing the best swap for them.

Access Fi

A marketplace for internet data where sellers get paid instantly for data they own and buyers receive it already verified. The raw content stays private, only the proof is shared. Backed by a Horizen ecosystem grant.

Trust Protocol

An open-source onchain trust primitive, a base layer for decentralized trust infrastructure. I designed, built and tested the secure contract architecture, plus the model that computes a user's trust score.

Let's ship something.

Open to Developer Relations, blockchain & smart-contract, and full-stack roles, remote or India. If your team is building payments, DeFi, or crypto infra, I'm a fast yes.
