About

"The goal is not to coerce customers to adopt new technologies, but to empower them."

- abinesh

I am deeply invested in the design and performance of microservice orchestrations. The challenge lies in effectively assessing the customer's interactions with the platform and architecting the individual services to optimize those interactions.

I believe there is a future in web3.0 where networks can simultaneously protect customer anonymity while preserving authenticity — ie. adhering to Know-Your-Customer protocols.
