Freedan Jeremiahengineer & software developerI build things that connect people — on the web, on-chain, and in the real world.
The chapters below are the vibe — the career page has the receipts: dates, bullets, the whole ledger.
Now Melbourne, Australia
I recently moved to Melbourne from India to start a Master of Data Science at RMIT, and I'm looking for engineering roles where I can ship product end to end. Between lectures you'll find me doing what I always do — freelance builds, mentoring, and turning up at every hackathon within reach.
Startup co-founder years
I co-founded a startup in Chennai — tamizh.co.in — and led its software development, writing the core of the product myself. But a founding team of a few means you do everything: we raised ₹21M INR through a fundraising journey that started in June 2023, and I went full-time from October 2025 to June 2026. Along the way I pitched for grants and investments, onboarded clients and members into the organization, and helped hire the people who'd outgrow me. Building the product was half the education; building the company was the other half.
Craft what I actually do
Full-stack products, on-chain infrastructure, and AI agent tooling. My hackathon record — 25+ events, mostly around blockchain verifiability and security — is where most of my ideas pressure-test themselves. I've also gone hands-on with digital twins for AI and NVIDIA CloudXR at a foundational level, because the edges of the stack are where the fun is.
Teaching workshops & mentoring
During and after college I've run workshops and mentored people on both technical skills and soft skills — from first-time hackers (60+ students across two hackathons as an Envision mentor) to teams figuring out how to present, pitch, and hire. I've also supported companies with hiring across countries.
Community the real-world part
I'm a resident of Stateless — a coordination layer for builders shipping at the intersection of AI agents and on-chain rails. We run hackathon squads at ETHGlobal and across APAC, four-week build cohorts, and ecosystem workshops, all under a ship-first, no-tourists culture that turns weekend hacks into real products. Before that I led from the other side: Vice-President of LEAF (a 50+ team, 30+ environmental events), Director of Business Development at Pattarai, LICET's student-run engineering lab (25+ technical events for upskilling students), and Head of NSS at LICET, running well-being and social awareness initiatives across India.
