Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSandipan Dey is a pragmatic engineering professional with 7 years of experience, currently working in DevOps at Galoy, a bitcoin banking company focused on building core banking software with Bitcoin as the base layer. He bridges product thinking and hands-on engineering—designing interfaces in Figma, building frontend pages with Next.js, and managing NGINX deployments—while progressively moving into backend work that interacts with Bitcoin and Lightning. An active contributor to open-source bitcoin infrastructure (notably CI/CD and backend improvements for GaloyMoney/blink), he focuses on reliable release pipelines, versioning, and payment validation. Based in Kolkata, he combines strong academic fundamentals (B.Tech in Computer Science, 9.22 CGPA) with a curiosity for bleeding-edge tech like blockchain and AI. Known for generating creative product ideas and iterating quickly from mockups to production, he’s equally comfortable tuning CI pipelines as he is sketching novel UX concepts. Outside work he’s an avid Potterhead and enjoys helping others onboard to Bitcoin.
