Manav Gadhiya
Backend Engineer
I'm a Backend Engineer passionate about scalable, high-performance, and complex systems. I love building things from scratch and understanding how they work under the hood. My tech stack is Node.js, Redis, AWS, PostgreSQL and Typescript.
I've won 7 hackathons, building projects ranging from an Automated on-chain Poker AI Agent to an authentication system designed to make on-chain onboarding seamless and intuitive.
Outside of coding, i spend time watching cricket, F1, astronomy and playing video games.
My Projects
Rate Limiting Library
PublishedA highly flexible rate limiting solution for Node.js applications.
- Multi-framework Support: Seamlessly integrates with Express, Fastify & NestJS
- Storage Options: Compatible with Redis, MongoDB & In-Memory stores
- Quality Assured: 90% test coverage with comprehensive tests
- Advanced Features: Dynamic rate limiting, configurable options, optional logging
Decentralized Rendering System
A highly parallelized and cheap rendering platform
- A distributed system to parallelize 3D rendering tasks across multiple worker nodes, reducing render time by 50x compared to single-node setups
- Built a decentralized 3D rendering platform where users submit jobs via a web UI and rendering is offloaded to external contributors incentivized through Solana-based crypto rewards
- Designed a serverless job orchestration pipeline using AWS SQS and Lambda to manage task scheduling, fault tolerance, and load balancing across untrusted worker nodes
SolRPC
RPC Aggregator for Solana
- Route requests through the lowest-latency RPC nodes based on real-time benchmarking — critical for games, high-frequency trading, and real-time apps.
- It provides multiple load balancing options depending on your dApp usage and traffic. Currently there are 4 options - Round-Robin, Least Connections, Least Latency and Weighted.
- Responses are automatically cached based on their nature. There are multiple caching methods - In-Memory, Redis and Memcached.
