Manav Goyal

Hi, I'm Manav Goyal, a blockchain and full-stack engineer who enjoys building products where users actually own their data, assets, and identity. I'm particularly interested in the infrastructure behind Web3, whether that's smart contracts, payment protocols, intent layers, or AI agents that can interact with blockchains securely.

Over the past couple of years, I've built projects across the Algorand, Stellar, Ethereum, and Oasis ecosystems. My work ranges from natural language transaction systems like AlgoIntent to wallet-enabled AI agents, on-chain job platforms, and payment infrastructure powered by x402 micropayments. I enjoy taking an idea from a whiteboard sketch to a working product, handling everything from smart contracts and backend APIs to frontend development and deployment.

Beyond building products, I've been fortunate to work as a Technical Ambassador for Alchemy and Oasis Protocol, where I've written technical content, created developer resources, and spoken about emerging Web3 technologies such as ERC-8004, privacy, and trustless AI agents. I've also participated in multiple hackathons, earning over $8,500 in prizes and grants while building real-world blockchain applications.

Technically, I work primarily with TypeScript, Python, Solidity, React, Next.js, Node.js, and modern blockchain tooling including Foundry, Hardhat, RainbowKit, and various SDKs across different ecosystems. I enjoy working across the entire stack, but what motivates me most is solving infrastructure problems that make decentralized applications easier to build and easier to use.

I'm currently looking for opportunities where I can contribute to ambitious teams building developer infrastructure, AI-powered Web3 products, or scalable full-stack applications. I enjoy fast-moving environments, taking ownership of products, and building technology that has a real impact.
