Kiran Pachhai is a Developer Advocate at Hashgraph with nine years of engineering experience and deep expertise across Solidity, Python, Golang, and TypeScript. He builds and evangelizes EVM-compatible smart contract tooling and PoCs for Hedera while helping developers debug and optimize contracts, and contributes to Hedera Improvement Proposals to improve the developer experience. Previously he led blockchain architecture efforts—designing validator node systems, a high-performance VM, and decentralized marketplaces—and has shipped production bridges, staking, and token systems. His open-source work includes backend contributions to the widely used redis_exporter, adding latency metric collection and tests, and he has a track record of introducing Golang/Prometheus observability at scale. With an MBT and a CS/math background, Kiran blends low-level systems engineering with developer outreach and teaching, often turning research into practical tools and workshops.
