About

Staff Engineer that specializes in architecting and implementing secure, scalable, and privacy-centric platforms that power next-gen SaaS solutions. My work spans building Multi-tenant cloud-native SaaS platforms in the domains of Confidential Computing, Federated AI, Blockchain. At Intel, I lead the design and delivery of federated learning frameworks and confidential AI infrastructure, enabling decentralized ML with zero data leakage using Java and Node.js Microservices, Golang Agents, Kubernetes, and Zero Trust Security models. I previously at VMware co-developed a Confidential Ledger SaaS leveraging Intel SGX, integrating Ethereum interoperability and achieving a multi fold reduction in system latency. I engineered Ethereum-based dApps, built secure custodial wallets, authored multiple smart contracts, and drove innovation across Ethereum, Quorum, Hyperledger Fabric, and Corda. I’ve led multiple R&D initiatives, optimized Golang microservices for low latency, and integrated federated identity systems like OAuth2.0 and SAML . I have been involved in System design high level and low level design. My core philosophy: Build with trust, scale with resilience, and design with user privacy at the core. Tech Stack: Java, Node.js , Express, NestJs, Golang, Spring Boot, Hibernate, JPA, Solidity, Python, Kubernetes, Docker, Redis, Kafka ,Elasticsearch, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Ethereum, Azure, AWS, OpenFL, OAuth2.0, Confidential Computing, Web3,AWS certified solutions architect. I regularly share my insights through open-source contributions and technical articles on Medium, CoinMonks, and Block Magnates (3K+ readers). https://pranavkirtani.medium.com Let’s connect if you're building secure SaaS, pioneering in AI/Blockchain, or architecting for scale.
