Gaurav Dhalla — Co-Founder
I’m a builder at heart who loves solving complex infrastructure puzzles. Currently, I’m the Lead Founding Engineer at Sentra, where I’m building the hybrid financial rails that bridge the gap between crypto and the real world (fiat). I love the chaos and creativity of 0-to-1 product building, designed the technical architecture for orchestration APIs, unifying multiple providers. Before Sentra, I cut my teeth on high-scale systems: - At Leap Wallet, I migrated routing engines to Golang to hit <250ms latency for DeFi trading. - At Arcesium, I architected data pipelines handling TBs of data processing for major US banks. Also led AI Initiatives for in-house products. When I’m not shipping production code, I’m usually tinkering with AI Agents. I’ve built autonomous trading bots (including "Sigma," which trades based on social sentiment) and have been lucky enough to win over 6 Web3 hackathons. Always happy to chat about Distributed Systems, AI, or the future of Payments!
