Portrait of Devansh Goel

Devansh Goel

@0xgoel

Backend & AI engineer. Python, Go, TypeScript, distributed systems.

Open to work

I build trading backends, yield strategies and AI agents for DeFi, mostly in Python, Go and TypeScript. Most recently I was a backend engineer at Troves.fi, running delta-neutral strategies on Starknet. Before that I made liquidations a third faster at LogX and built rewards and AI tooling for 1.3M+ wallets at Eddy Finance. Outside work I build agents that trade, and one of them won Starknet Hacker Games.

  • 18s → 12s liquidation runtime at LogX
  • ~15% annualized yield at Troves.fi
  • 1.3M+ wallets served at Eddy Finance
  • $6,000 in hackathon prizes

Open to backend, AI and trading-infrastructure roles. Based in Delhi, India.

What I do

I'm a backend engineer for systems where a bug costs real money: trading engines, on-chain vaults and AI agents that act on their own. I care about staying correct under load, failing safely and shipping fast.

  • GoPythonPostgreSQLRedis

    Backend systems

    APIs, workers and data pipelines in Go, Python and TypeScript that stay fast and correct at scale, with caching, queues, Postgres tuning and monitoring built in.

    1.3M+ wallets served at Eddy Finance; API latency down 40%

  • GoNode.jsRedisDocker

    Trading infrastructure

    Liquidation engines, market making and market surveillance that keep perpetual markets solvent and liquid, and react in seconds when prices move.

    LogX liquidations 18s → 12s; ~$40K in losses prevented

  • StarknetCairoSolidityEthereum

    DeFi protocols & vaults

    Delta-neutral strategies and non-custodial vaults on lending and perp protocols: hedging, rebalancing, NAV and share accounting, plus the Cairo and Solidity contracts behind them.

    ~15% annualized yield and a $25K+ TVL vault at Troves.fi

  • LangChainGeminiPythonTypeScript

    AI agents

    Agents that turn plain intent into real actions such as swaps, trades and portfolio moves, with the limits, checks and audit trails that make them safe to run.
