Yash Shende

Blockchain Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience building secure, scalable, and gas-optimized smart contracts and decentralized systems. I've worked across NFT startups, RWA tokenization, and fintech blockchain infrastructure—shipping products from scratch, auditing contracts, and integrating with both on-chain and off-chain components. Passionate about Web3 infra, security, and pushing the limits of decentralized tech.

I bring 3+ years of experience across blockchain development, cybersecurity, and data engineering. I’ve worked as a Founding Blockchain Engineer at a Web3 startup, a Cybersecurity Intern focused on secure asset tokenization and MPC-TSS at rootVX, and as a Research Assistant handling large-scale genomic data workflows. My expertise lies in building and auditing Solidity smart contracts, integrating decentralized and traditional systems using Go microservices and gRPC, and securing blockchain infrastructure with confidential computing. I’ve shipped mainnet products, worked across NFT and RWA use cases, and thrive at the intersection of fintech, cloud, and Web3.

Currently pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity at Texas A&M University, with a focus on applied cryptography, digital forensics, and incident response. Previously earned a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering, where I built foundational skills in algorithms, systems design, and blockchain development. My academic background complements my hands-on Web3 work, especially in smart contract security and cryptographic protocols
