who is this guy?

I'm Santhil Kherwal, a 20-year-old developer who'd rather deploy smart contracts than attend lectures (sorry, JIIT).

I lead engineering at a real company, build decentralized products people actually use, and somehow still manage to pass my exams. Currently a 2nd year at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, but let's be honest the interesting stuff happens outside the classroom.

Here's what I've been up to:


the stuff I've built

A Decentralized Timestamp Notary on Ethereum.

The idea is dead simple: prove you had a file on a specific date. No uploads. No middlemen. No trust required...just cryptographic math anchored on-chain, permanently.

Your file never touches a server. We compute a SHA-256 hash entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API, then anchor that fingerprint on Ethereum. Once it's on-chain, nobody — not a government, not a corporation, not even us — can alter or backdate it.

The numbers so far:

  • 10.32 GB of data notarized through the platform
  • 1,847 files cryptographically timestamped
  • 24,519 on-chain block anchors
  • ~1.2 second average hash computation time
  • 99.97% network uptime since launch

Built with Solidity Ethers.js React Vite MetaMask Sepolia Testnet

I built this because I was tired of trusting centralized notary services that charge $50 to stamp a PDF.

Tech Lead — and yes, one of the youngest in the country to hold that title at a production e-commerce company.

At 20, I'm leading the entire tech stack for a nutrition & supplements brand shipping across India. Not an internship. Not a "student project." An actual company with actual revenue and actual customers who get angry if the website breaks.

What I built from the ground up:

  • Designed and shipped the entire Shopify Liquid theme — pixel-perfect, mobile-first, conversion-optimized
  • Engineered real-time order tracking via Zippee API integrations
  • Built a custom WhatsApp notification pipeline with webhook-driven order status alerts
  • Implemented Bundle Builder — a drag-and-drop custom bundle system that increased AOV by 34%
  • Achieved sub-2s page loads through aggressive asset optimization

Built with Shopify Liquid JavaScript Node.js REST APIs Webhooks Custom CSS


what I work with

blockchain & web3 — the stuff that keeps me up at night

frontend — where I make things look unreasonably good

backend & infra — the invisible part that makes everything else possible

let's talk

I'm always down to chat about Web3, wild startup ideas, or why decentralization matters.
