CV - Ashish Kumar Sahoo

JavaScriptBlockchainBackend ProgrammingBlockchain PlatformsFull Stack DevelopmentEthereumSolidityWeb3.jsBlockchain SecurityBlockchain Interoperability
I build backend infrastructure and smart contract systems for DeFi protocols and Web3 applications.

Most of my meaningful work has been at the intersection of on-chain logic and off-chain systems — designing how contracts communicate with backends, how reward distributions are calculated, and how integrations with external protocols like Lido, Ankr, and EigenLayer actually get built in practice.

At Aarna Protocol, I worked on the AFI407 liquid staking vault — a multi-protocol aggregation system designed to provide additional yield on LSTs by routing deposits across restaking protocols. I analyzed and extended the existing AFI801/802 vault architecture, contributed to the reward computation and distribution logic, and debugged critical calculation issues in the staking engine during active development.

Outside of that: I've shipped smart contracts across staking, token, and NFT use cases for freelance clients, built a production-grade RAG-based AI chat agent, and designed an on-chain credit scoring protocol deployed on Ethereum Sepolia.

Project history

Freelance Software Engineer

Self Employed
  1. Architect and deliver custom full-stack applications for clients using Node.js, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL, resulting in shorter development cycles and higher client retention rates.
  2. Develop RESTful APIs, integrate AI/LLM services such as OpenAI and Claude, and build RAG pipelines for client platforms, which streamline data processing and enhance the accuracy of generated content

Software Development Engineer

Aarna Protocol
  1. Led end-to-end backend development of a distributed staking and reward-calculation platform integrating liquid restaking protocols (Lido, Ankr, EigenLayer) — designed system architecture, API layers with PostgreSQL and Redis, and core reward-distribution logic.
  2. Identified and fixed a critical reward-calculation bug in the staking distribution engine producing incorrect allocations across 3 integrated platforms; deployed fix to production with zero downtime.
  3. Designed scalable APIs enabling off-chain computation with on-chain data settlement, processing 5k+ transactions through the system.
  4. Collaborated directly with external engineering teams to reverse-engineer undocumented API specifications, unblocking integration delivery ahead of schedule
