I\'m Prad Nukala. I live in New York City, where I\'m building the future of digital identity.

I\'ve been passionate about technology since the introduction of the App Store, where I made one of the first 5,000 apps at age 12. This early start in mobile development shaped my understanding of how technology can empower individuals and sparked my lifelong commitment to building tools that put users first.

My journey in blockchain began with a simple realization: the internet\'s identity layer is fundamentally broken. Users have no control over their digital selves, leading to privacy breaches, data exploitation, and a web that serves corporations over people. This inspired me to found Sonr in 2020, where we\'re building an IBC-enabled blockchain specifically designed for decentralized identity.

As a W3C Working Group Member for DIDs, WebAuthn, and WASM, I\'m actively shaping the standards that will define the future of digital identity. My technical contributions speak to my commitment - with over 6,000 GitHub contributions from 2021-2023, I was ranked as the 4th most active contributor worldwide. Before Sonr, I self-developed over 10 projects that garnered more than 1 million downloads combined.

Today, I lead Sonr with a clear mission: to create a peer-to-peer identity and asset management system that leverages DID documents, WebAuthn, and IPFS. We\'ve raised $4.7M in funding and onboarded over 120 first-time blockchain developers to our platform. Our technology features passkey-based user accounts, DKLS-MPC powered wallets (no seed phrases), and lightning-fast 600ms wallet generation. I believe the future of the internet is one where users own their identity, control their data, and interact on their own terms.
