Hi, I'm Kurush
Software engineer and entrepreneur building the future of Web3. Currently exploring stablecoin compliance at my own startup.
About
I like to build things. Web3 is super cool, you should check it out.
I'm a software engineer with deep experience scaling startups from early stage to unicorn status. Most recently, I was a founding engineer at Alchemy, where I joined as one of the first 10 engineers and helped scale the company to 250+ employees and a $10.2B valuation.
Currently, I'm working on my own startup, exploring compliance solutions in the stablecoin space. When I'm not coding, you can find me behind a camera capturing moments around the world.
