Laxman S.

I’m a senior full-stack, blockchain and AI developer with 15+ years of engineering experience, a 3x founder, and a hands-on CTO / Tech Lead who has built, launched, and scaled real products used by real customers. I specialize in end-to-end product development, from early-stage MVPs to production platforms, covering frontend, backend, Web3 & AI integrations, system architecture, security, and scalability. I’ve worked closely with 100+ founders, led teams from 1 to 50+ engineers, and built systems that handle real traffic, real money, and real operational complexity. I don’t just write code. I help founders build products that survive real-world usage. What I Build - Full-stack SaaS platforms - Web applications using React and Next.js - Backend systems and APIs using Node.js - Blockchain and Web3 products (DApps, smart contracts, wallet flows) - DeFi, DEX, and crypto platforms - Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration and Development - Internal tools, analytics dashboards, and marketplaces I focus on clean architecture, secure flows, and long-term maintainability, not quick hacks. Selected Work - Thrust.com (Recent) Built and launched a complex Web3 product using Next.js, React, TailwindCSS, and Node.js. Owned frontend architecture, backend APIs, Web3 integrations, and overall product UX. Implemented advanced engagement mechanics, security-first flows, waitlists, social features, and incentive systems. - Seedify.fund Worked on one of the most well-known Web3 launchpads. Contributed across platform architecture, frontend integrations, and smart-contract interactions for a live DeFi product with real users and capital. - Crypto Exchanges (CEX & DEX) Built and worked on multiple centralized and decentralized exchanges from scratch through launch and scale, including wallet authentication, on-chain settlement, liquidity logic, and trading UX. - SaaS & Internal Platforms Designed and delivered dashboards, CRMs, and operational tools that replaced spreadsheets and legacy systems for startups and agencies. How I Work - I take ownership of the technical roadmap, not just tasks - I think like a founder and CTO, not a short-term freelancer - I prioritize security, scalability, and clarity - I communicate clearly and push back when something is risky or short-sighted If you want someone to blindly execute tickets, I’m not the right fit. If you want a senior engineer who protects your product and users, we’ll work well together. Tech Stack Frontend - React - Next.js - TailwindCSS Backend - Node.js - REST APIs - System architecture Blockchain / Web3 - Ethereum, EVM chains and Solana - Solidity, Rust - Ethers, Viem, Anchor - Wallet integrations (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Magic, Web3Auth) - Non-custodial and on-chain systems LLM & Generative AI - AI Product Development - Generative AI Integration - OpenAI API - AI-powered Dashboards - AI Model Integration - Data-driven Product Development Infrastructure - Cloud deployments (AWS, Render, Vercel, managed services) Engagement Model - Senior full-stack & blockchain development - CTO-level technical leadership - Long-term or milestone-based engagements - $100+/hour for serious, high-impact products I’m currently doing full-time development and consultancy and selectively take on projects where I can add real value. Let’s build something solid.
