Background

About Renjith T.

I am a serial entrepreneur, technologist, and DeFi expert with a strong foundation in software engineering, blockchain, and cybersecurity. With an engineering degree in Computer Science, a Master’s in Information Security from IGNOU, and an MS in Data Science from London South Bank University, I have spent my career at the intersection of innovation, security, and decentralized finance. Nearly a decade ago, I co-founded Nubicz Tech Pvt Ltd, aiming to democratize cloud computing and empower businesses with advanced technical tools. I later worked as a Lead Software Engineer at Innov8 Coworking, playing a key role in its growth before the company was acquired by OYO Rooms—a SoftBank-funded startup that raised $400M. I then joined OYO as a Senior Software Engineer, contributing to its backend and mobile architecture. After leaving OYO, I founded MailCastr, a startup designed to optimize sales and marketing follow-ups through real-time email tracking. While the product demonstrated strong technical execution, it faced challenges in customer acquisition due to marketing constraints. My journey eventually led me to Sonic, where I took on the role of CTO, focusing on building innovative and scalable solutions in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Today, I am the CTO of a major DEX, leading cutting-edge developments on Solana and Internet Computer (ICP) blockchains, shaping the future of decentralized trading. I specialize in backend engineering, smart contract development, and blockchain infrastructure, with deep expertise in Python, Rust, and Go. Beyond coding, I thrive on solving complex problems—whether it's optimizing smart contract efficiency, securing DeFi protocols, or scaling high-performance financial applications. Always driven by curiosity and innovation, I’m on a mission to build secure, efficient, and decentralized financial systems that redefine the way we interact with money. Let’s connect and shape the future of blockchain together!
