Summary
Samarth Gugnani is a founder and software engineer with seven years of experience building full-stack, backend, AI/LLM and blockchain systems from product prototypes to production. He has led engineering and technical strategy across startups—driving smart contract architecture, scalable APIs, and Web3 integrations that helped grow TVL and secure enterprise clients. As CTO and contractor he built Chrome extensions and API-as-a-service products for non-custodial wallets and shipped Solidity contracts for NFT marketplaces, lending protocols and token mechanics. Samarth combines hands-on implementation (React, backend services, bots indexing on-chain events) with business-facing product work, including customer discovery and GTM for startups. Now based in Bengaluru, he’s founding Wayforge after recent senior engineering work on a major open-source AI framework, blending GenAI and blockchain experience in pragmatic, revenue-focused builds. A detail that sets him apart: he’s repeatedly moved projects from early code and audits to measurable growth—raising funding and onboarding notable clients—while staying deeply technical.
