Anmol Sharma - Software Engineer

Working as a backend developer at Bold, where I have had the opportunity to build products from the ground up
Contributing to every stage of the product development process, including gathering requirements, designing solutions, writing code, and testing
Working with a talented team of developers and learning from more experienced colleagues
Staying up to date with industry best practices and continually growing and learning as a professional

Developed two coin selection algorithms (Branch and Bound selection, and Single Random Draw selection) to optimise transaction fees
Created a new coin selection algorithm called Lowest Larger selection, which improved fee savings
Added a waste metric to select the most optimal selection based on fee rate and change
Improved transaction size estimator to further optimise fees
Refactored the transaction database to store only spendable coins, resulting in a 4x increase in speed when fetching coins from the database
Coin selection reduced UTXO pool by 90% hence resulting in fee saving of more than 90%

Conducted research on four different blockchain platforms (R3 Corda, Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Besu, VMware blockchain) to compare their capabilities and features
Evaluated the platforms based on 16 parameters including architecture, scalability, consensus mechanism, and interoperability
This research project will serve as a valuable reference for future projects, helping to take informed tech stack decisions and ensure the most appropriate platform is chosen.
