hi, shivank here.engineering maxi building agentic infrastructure & scalable consumer apps
most recently i was a founding engineer at qwik card, a financial app for university students in the united states. i led engineering across both sides of it: the consumer app, with card issuance, p2p transfers, budgeting, and the b2b stack other companies built their own payments infrastructure on. $100k+ transactions a month in the pilot.
before that i led product and engineering at chimpx — ai trading agents on bnb chain and katana, a dex aggregator, $450k+ traded across 8.5–9k users. built ai products for whop and spectral labs, production systems across seed-stage crypto, ai and fintech teams at crackeddevs.
at router protocol i led forward deployment: sdk, cli and docs on the devx and infra side, and integrations with b2b institutional partners on the other — 300+ developers onboarded, 50+ integrations.
i'm looking for my next role — a team worth building with, a hard problem, and enough ownership to matter. open on the space.
four things i go deep on. open one.
