Sumanth JM
Backend Engineer · Solana / Rust Developer
About
I'm a backend engineer in Bangalore, two years into writing software where a wrong number is somebody's real problem, and what I'm good at is the unglamorous half of that — the failure a vendor's API doesn't document, the call that must never be retried, the trail someone can still trust a year later.
I work in Python and Rust, and I learn by rebuilding things from scratch — validator internals, indexers, on-chain settlement — because I don't trust that I understand a system until I've written the part of it that breaks.
