Portfolio / Résumé — 2026

Anirruth Santhosh

Blockchain developer & security researcher.

I build on-chain systems and break them before attackers do — shipping Solidity and Rust across EVM and Solana, and auditing DeFi protocols through Immunefi and Code4rena. Currently a Junior Blockchain Developer at Block Stack.

About

I'm a blockchain developer and security researcher with a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Blockchain Technology) from SRM University (2026). My work splits between building — smart contracts, cross-chain infrastructure, full-stack DeFi tooling — and breaking, through bug bounty programs and formal audits.

I compete in smart contract security contests and bug bounty programs across multiple platforms — see my full track record in Security research below — and completed the Cyfrin Updraft Smart Contract Security Program.
