Btrust Developer Day

Graduated M.Tech in Structural Engineering in 2016, from IIT Madras. Worked as a professional Structural Engineer for offshore oil rigs, water treatment plants, bridges, and metro viaducts. 2016-2021. Found Bitcoin in 2017 at the dusk of the block size War. Fell in love with the whole idea and started studying deeper. My journey has been entirely self-taught, where I taught myself the history of money, the principles of Austrian economics, and eventually cryptography and maths. Over time the Bitcoin obsession became so big, that I started learning to code. Eventually, I became good enough to start contributing to Bitcoin FOSS projects. Which landed my first part-time gig at RGB and my first little contributions to Bitcoin Core, in 2020. My journey self-studying at that time I documented in this blog: https://www.citadel21.com/from-hello-world-to-bitcoin-core Left my structural engineering career completely to work on Bitcoin full-time by being blessed as the first recipient of the Spiral Dev Grant from India, in 2021. Since then my passion for Bitcoin has led me into an ongoing rabbit hole and it has become my life mission to contribute back to the Freedom Industry, in whatever way best I can.
