I am an Internet of Things & Blockchain technologist. I am currently a key member of IBM's IoT + Blockchain effort. I have expertise in Openblockchain, IBM Blockchain solution and Ethereum and also good knowledge in Bitcoin, Eris, Ripple, Factom etc. I was the Chief Architect for IBM's ADEPT, developed under IBM Institute of Business Value Electronics in partnership with Samsung Electronics. In ADEPT, we proposed a peer-to-peer Internet of Things architecture and a future hybrid model of IoT. ADEPT was implemented as a PoC using new technologies like blockchain (ethereum), p2p messaging (Telehash) and p2p file sharing (BitTorrent) and was demonstrated at CES 2015. In addition to architecting ADEPT and working on its PoC implementation, I also contributed to the Executive report and was a co-author of the technical paper.
