Hi, I'm Ashwin Yardi

• Started as Senior Backend Engineer, promoted to Tech Lead; joined Core Leadership team.
• Led 6 critical services in XO stack: Backend, Indexer, Microservices communications, Charting, Adapters, and Notifications.
• Built MODRA v2 (June 2026) - agentic AI system for autonomous prediction market resolution with AI-powered market creation, validation, and resolution.
• Completely rewrote the indexer from scratch using Ponder, making it more robust and standardizing processes.
• Implemented Clean Architecture principles across backend services with NestJS, TypeORM, and PostgreSQL.
• Led team building efforts, mentored junior engineers, and established engineering standards.
• Standardized deployment processes and CI/CD pipelines across all services.
• Improved application stability and built foundation for scalable product features.
• Tech stack: NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, TypeORM, Ponder, Google Cloud PubSub, Google AI, BullMQ, Redis, Docker. Agentic AI: AI workflows, routers, token optimizations, structured loops for autonomous decision-making.

• Started as Blockchain & Data team lead; built founding team of 4 and led R&D.
• Shipped the product in ~2 months end-to-end.
• Brought query latency from ~2 minutes to ~30 seconds via better pipelines, indexing/caching, and pragmatic infra.
• AI memory platform enabling creation of Minds from multi‑source ingestion (Twitter, Telegram, Substack, docs, YouTube, websites).
• AI analysis with Google Gemini 2.5 (Flash, Flash Lite, Pro); personality modeling, stance detection, citations.
• Architecture: Memory Pipeline (NestJS) for mind creation + content processing; Query Engine (Python FastAPI) for NL queries and responses.
• Data layer: PostgreSQL (Supabase) for metadata; Mem0 for vector memory and profiles; Base chain (X402) micro‑payments; Privy embedded wallets.
• Documentation reference: https://qurios.gitbook.io/qurios-tech-docs/V1L2GNQ7HKiDomlUPimI/

• Built an end-to-end leverage aggregator and optimizer.
• Used AI early in DeFi to optimize user positions and risk.
• Implemented complex DeFi recipes: debt swap, collateral swap, one-click protocol position switchers.
• Position optimization and auto-liquidation protection baked in.

• Privacy-first expense tracking.
• No sensitive data required; smart insights.

• Automated blog generator.
• Optimized for LLMs and LLM-SEO.

Ask-me-anything tool for notable crypto accounts.

• RAG pipeline on top of historic tweets.
• Realtime tweets fetching pipeline.

• Early-stage planning, prototyping, and research.
• Studied Aave, Compound, Balancer v1 for design inputs.

• First engineer; built on-chain contracts and interfacing backend MVP solo.
• MVP enabled StackOS to raise $4M.
• Contracts: STACK staking, Resources Manager, streaming payments/subscriptions, STACK token, Uniswap v2 LP farming (STACK–USDT).

• Proxy staking contract integrating with FET staking to manage MTLX distribution.
• Also used for Atomix rewards program.

• Full smart-contract suite for Amplify program.
• Forked FuruCombo v1; single-sided entry with ETH → MTLX.
• Uniswap LP add (MTLX–ETH) and stake in MasterChef; MTLX peaked > $10.

• All on-chain contracts solo: LP staking (MasterChef), token sale, liquidity provision, auto-stake flow.

• Compound protocol fork; lending markets and interest rate model.

• On-chain price reporter compatible with Compound-style markets.

• Polygon DEX; first fully gasless DEX on Polygon.
• Built multi-reward farms and staking pools; later evolved into DEX aggregator.

• Novel 100% cross-chain farming using Polygon FxPortals.

• No-code smart contracts as a service.
• Used minimal proxies and modular on-chain architecture.
• Pools: fixed APR and multi-reward staking pools.

• Two-token model preventing dilution; floor price mechanics for YGN.

• Cross-chain lending for Polygon zkEVM; Best DeFi award at hackathon.
• Euler-style modular architecture; wrote deployment and simulation scripts.
