Featured Projects
Check out some of my recent work

- 6 settlements ran on-chain, 2 of them on Base mainnet
- Hand-rolled the x402 verify-to-settle handshake so settlement defers to the hangup webhook

- Automated lease execution across 18 DocuSign document types, with signing order enforced for tenants, guarantors, landlords, and agents and tabs filled from application data
- Traced intermittent production 504s to an S3 existence check that called GetObject and never read the body, so every lease PDF draft leaked a socket until the 50-connection keep-alive pool died

- Built a voice coaching PWA on GPT-4 and ElevenLabs across 70+ components, 14 API endpoints, and 18,000+ lines
- Cached GPT-4 completions in Redis to cut voice-chat latency, with Prisma Accelerate pooling Postgres connections

Recommendations
What mentors and colleagues say about my work
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Achyut as Co-Chairs of the MIT Bitcoin Hackathon, where we jointly led the end-to-end organisation of the event. Achyut took strong ownership across multiple workstreams, including operations, participant experience, and execution on the ground. What stood out most was his ability to remain calm and decisive under pressure. In several high-intensity moments, he stepped in to manage issues quickly and effectively, ensuring the event continued to run smoothly. He is reliable, proactive, and deeply committed to seeing things through. Achyut combines strong execution with leadership, and was a key driver behind the overall success of the hackathon.”

“I am very happy to recommend Achyut for his leadership and technical skills. While serving in a number of leadership roles for the 2026 MIT Bitcoin Expo, Ace juggled many responsibilities, and brought his various workstreams to successful outcomes. In my work with him on the Marketing subcommittee, Ace produced results in design at an extremely efficient rate with a very high level of quality standards. I relied on him more and more as it became obvious he was extremely dependable and creative. He is an excellent problem solver, a sound organizational thinker, and a talented designer with the technical skills to deliver results. Ace is a pleasure to work with, executes with a high level of professionalism, and holds himself to a very high standard.”
