Viraj Bhartiya is a software engineer from Mumbai with 6 years of experience building high-performance backend systems, distributed architectures, and decentralized protocols using Go, Rust, and TypeScript. He has contributed to flagship Filecoin implementations such as Lotus and Forest—adding EVM-related features, RPC extensions, and proof validation—and has shipped production-grade systems like a MapReduce engine and the Parity Protocol for verifiable compute. At Protocol Labs and in global hackathons (EthIndia, Filecoin Dev Summit) he delivered award-winning, performance-critical tooling including a PDP Explorer and deal orchestration SDKs. His background spans multi-tenant SaaS, real-time sync, and on-chain incentive networks, with hands-on expertise in gRPC, Docker, PostgreSQL, AWS, IPFS, and observability. Notably, he blends low-level protocol work with product-minded engineering—optimizing fault-tolerant indexing and high-throughput proof validation that power scalable, decentralized services.
