Vaibhav Arora @0xvaibhav_
Full Stack Engineer | Passionate about ZK and distributed systems

Hi, I’m Vaibhav Arora — a Full Stack Engineer passionate about building scalable systems, decentralized infrastructure, and privacy-preserving applications.

I work at the intersection of DeFi, and Zero-Knowledge cryptography, architecting systems that balance performance and on-chain privacy.
When not building, I’m often deep-diving into cryptography, distributed systems, or exploring new blockchain primitives.
