About Me

Driven by Curiosity & Code

I am a Blockchain researcher, educator, and entrepreneur driven by a deep commitment to spirituality in heart and sincerity in action.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Engineering specializing in Blockchain Interoperability at MPSTME, NMIMS University, I am always open to research collaborations in this exciting and evolving field.

Beyond academia, I founded LaraCorp, instruct on Udemy, and have served as visiting faculty at NMIMS — sharing my passion for technology with students and professionals across India.

My book "Blockchain Without Barriers" provides an authentic guide to blockchain interoperability for practitioners and researchers alike.
