Hey there, I’m Shatabarto Bhattacharya, but most folks just call me “Rik”.

I work as a Senior Quant Risk Analyst at Block Analitica. My day to day work involves working on financial simulations to help quantify risks for various DeFi protocols. And in my free time, I am usually running arbitrage bots and automating medium frequency trades to manage different hedging strategies.

In my short career, I have donned multiple hats, some of that include:

• Managing multiple specialized small engineering teams
• Data Engineer (architecting data pipelines)
• Data Science & Mathematics (Convex Optimization, Stochastic Calculus, Probability)
• Smart Contract Development and Testing (Symbolic and Fuzz testing)
• Backend Development (Mostly Python)
• Frontend Development (Typescript and React/Next.js)

• How should I contact you? Or schedule a meeting with you?

  Feel free to contact me on twitter or telegram by the handle riksucks or my email rik61072 [at] gmail [dot] com. I am always down for a chat! Please don’t mind if I happen to reply late, as it is hard for me to juggle college, work, projects and life :)

• Are you down for gigs and consultancy work?
  

  Yes! In fact I can help you with these:

  • I can help you plan tokenomics and overall protocol economics along with financial simulations to aid you in further decision making down the line. The scope of the work can also include doing analysis for incentive distribution and other methodologies to increase adoption/utilization.

  • I’m available for smart contract auditing gigs and bring hands-on experience from projects at Timeswap Labs and open-source contributions. I specialize in boosting code coverage through fuzz and invariant tests, assisting in internal security audits, conducting formal verification of your smart contracts against your whitepaper and preparing codebases for large security audits. My passion, dedication, and practical expertise make me an asset in ensuring the security and reliability of your blockchain projects.

  • I can also help you with writing ETL pipelines to consume on-chain data in your backend. I will help you write fault tolerant services that will consume and index on-chain events, and can help you set up infrastructure around that.
