# Dhaiwat Pandya (dhai.eth / Dhai)

- 24 yo.
- Born and brought up in 🇮🇳 but have since traveled to ~21 countries.
- Been writing code professionally for 7 years now.
- In crypto since 2020.

#### I love being able to do research, engineer prototypes and tooling, do evangelism around it, and help drive public conversations around this work.

Here are my work experiences and other details:

## Engineering, Research & Evangelism, Fuel Labs (Nov 2022 - Jan 2025)

I initially joined Fuel as an engineer to work on tooling. I did that solely for 2 years.

After the Fuel Mainnet launch, I pivoted to a hybrid role where I was now focusing on doing market & technical research, engineering various prototypes, and driving evangelism for Fuel publicly.

### My best work at Fuel:

- Created `npm create fuels` - allowing devs to build and deploy Fuel dApps in less than 2 mins.


- Worked on optimisations to make transactions 2x faster for all Fuel devs and users.


- Created the Fuel AI Agent Kit and other AI community integrations for Fuel.


- Created 'Home Verifiability Score' to showcase Fuel's home verifiability strengths. This project is now a public good for the wider Ethereum community. [Link](https://chain-viability-index.vercel.app/)


- Created [fuel-fees.vercel.app](https://fuel-fees.vercel.app) to showcase and compare the average gas fees on Fuel vs leading Ethereum rollups.


- Kicked off work around adding sign-in via passkeys and email for Fuel in a collaboration with [Dynamic](https://dynamic.xyz).

- Led various efforts around improve DevEx for the average Fuel dev over the course of my 2 years at Fuel. This included prototyping aps regularly using Fuel tooling, researching SDKs from other projects, talking to devs, leading engineering efforts around incorporating these insights into our tooling. Too many to name.

- I spearheaded a lot of technical evangelism for Fuel once I pivoted away from my engg role at Fuel. My goal with my evangelism work was to present Fuel's tech in a friendly yet assertive manner - and to make sure that Fuel is involved in important conversations around Ethereum scaling solutions in crypto communities.

### Dev work

I have been working as a frontend engineer in the JavaScript/TS ecosystem since 2019. I’m particularly proud of these projects:

- [web3-ui](https://github.com/developer-dao/web3-ui):
A React UI library made for web3-specific use cases. A very early project I made in late 2021 before rainbowkit and wagmi were created.

- [create-web3-frontend](https://github.com/dhaiwat10/create-web3-frontend):
A CLI tool that gets you up and running with a fully-setup web3 frontend. Just run `npx create-web3-frontend`.

- [react-link-preview](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@dhaiwat10/react-link-preview):
A React library that generates beautiful previews for your links. It has around 80k downloads now. One of my first OSS projects. Still going strong.
