WHO IS VIRAJ MALI?
Who I Am
A relentless Frontend & Mobile App Developer focused on bridges. I build interfaces that feel smooth, look gorgeous, and translate technical complexity into intuitive experiences.
What I Love
Micro-interactions that surprise users, Web3 applications built on Solana, hybrid app codebases with Angular/Ionic, and slick, performant React web interfaces.
My Philosophy
Digital products must be more than static layouts. They should breathe, respond, and adapt to the human touch. Performance, accessibility, and clean architecture are non-negotiable.
My Approach
Deconstruct complicated specifications down to their mathematical fundamentals. Research existing paradigms, sketch interactions, prototype rapidly, and iterate based on real feedback.

FEATURED PROJECTS
SoulPay
Merchant-Side Solana Blockchain Payment Gateway
SoulPay
Merchant-Side Solana Blockchain Payment Gateway
PROBLEM & SOLUTION
Problem: Traditional merchant gateways suffer from high credit card fees (2-4%), delayed settlement windows, and lack of transparency, making web3 checkout adoption difficult.
Solution: Built a fully trustless, decentralized payment interface generating real-time merchant QR codes. Consumers scan and sign transactions directly via Solana wallet adapters for peer-to-peer settlement.
TECHNICAL DEPLOYMENT
ARCHITECTURE
Client (React.js, Solana Web3.js) connects directly to Solana RPC cluster. Node.js backend handles dynamic pricing conversion, API signature tracking, and generates verifiable checkout tokens.
CHALLENGES
Handling RPC congestion and validating transactions instantly on the Solana ledger. Resolved by setting up optimized WebSocket subscription nodes and fallback RPC pools.
ChatCom
Real-Time Collaboration & Messaging Hub
ChatCom
Real-Time Collaboration & Messaging Hub
PROBLEM & SOLUTION
Problem: Organizations lack fast, reactive team portals that support fine-grained document sharing and roles without heavy monthly subscriptions.
Solution: Engineered a production-deployed real-time chat application with Angular reactive patterns and Firestore NoSQL database syncing, enabling instant channels and files exchange.
TECHNICAL DEPLOYMENT
ARCHITECTURE
Angular frontend using RxJS state trees connected directly to Firebase Firestore listeners. Secure file buckets host binary media using Firebase Storage rules.
CHALLENGES
Preventing excessive Firestore read charges and maintaining state consistency during active socket syncing. Solved by writing client-side caches and query-throttling operators in RxJS.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION
Problem: Standard AI chatbot interfaces exhibit choppy, flashing layout shifts during streaming text responses, impairing readable scanning.
Solution: Designed a glassy chat terminal which parses token streams incrementally, rendering clean Markdown grids, syntax-highlighted code components, and typewriter indicators in real-time.
TECHNICAL DEPLOYMENT
ARCHITECTURE
Next.js server action proxies secure requests to Google Gemini model endpoint. Stream reader on the client processes stream chunk buffers into a React state array.
CHALLENGES
Managing state re-renders for multi-paragraph streams without triggering typing lags. Fixed by decoupling the active stream buffer from main layout nodes.
NearBasket
Mobile ApplicationNearBasket
Hyperlocal E-Commerce & Grocery Delivery App
PROBLEM & SOLUTION
Problem: Hyperlocal delivery apps frequently lag on entry-level Android devices due to heavy background map polling and large asset loading cycles.
Solution: Built a optimized cross-platform React Native app with native bridge hooks for location tracking, lightweight item caching, and immediate cart updates.
TECHNICAL DEPLOYMENT
ARCHITECTURE
React Native client with Context state API. Integrates Google Maps SDK for customer tracking and communicates via REST API with a Node/Express backend.
CHALLENGES
Battery depletion during background location polls. Mitigated by using adaptive frequency distance thresholds in GPS settings.
