Manav Notnani.
Backend Engineer
I'm a backend engineer building production-grade distributed systems for the past 4+ years.
Currently shipping at Bloom.social — owning backend services on AWS, real-time blockchain pipelines, and infrastructure. Before that, I led delivery of a tokenization platform that raised $17.5M at Antier.
Outside work, I build at the Web3 × AI intersection — including Womdo, which received ecosystem grant funding from CrossFi and won the Chainlink Blockmagic Hackathon.
The short version.
My focus is the layer most users never see — APIs, queues, real-time pipelines, and the on-chain rails underneath them. The systems I've shipped have moved real money, served live data at scale, and held up under production pressure.
My sweet spot is the Web3 × AI intersection: real-time blockchain pipelines, account abstraction, agent infrastructure, and the tokenization rails underneath them. I've shipped on Solana, EVM, and Move ecosystems — and the diversity is on purpose. Each chain teaches you something the others don't.
Outside the day job, I build with friends, ship hackathon projects, and occasionally win some. I'm most useful on small teams where the distance between an idea and production is short.

Things I've built outside the day job.
Womdo
Ecosystem GranteeHackathon winnerAI × Web3 platform at the intersection of agent infrastructure and on-chain action. Backed by a CrossFi ecosystem grant and winner of the Chainlink Blockmagic Hackathon.
Abstraxn
White-label embedded wallet infrastructure for enterprise Web3 onboarding — invisible wallets with account abstraction (ERC-4337), EIP-7702, and AI agent support for friction-free UX across any chain.
Blacktie.digital
End-to-end RWA tokenization platform built to Tokeny standards. Led the backend, building multiple microservices interacting with on-chain smart contracts for compliance, issuance, and settlement.
Kryzel
Decentralized sports prediction markets on Aptos — low-fee, on-chain markets with sub-second finality. A diversity signal across Solana, EVM, and Move ecosystems.
W-Access
Ecosystem ProjectConsumer-friendly Web3 onboarding for W-Chain — frictionless wallet creation, human-readable addresses, and secure key management built to make mass adoption real. Shipped as an ecosystem project for W-Chain.
