23 year old doing art for a living ••• Chief Creative Lunatic at @FlashTrade⚡️

Be a cockroach who can evolve!

2026 marks my 3 years at @FlashTrade and here's my story...so far⚡️

Three years back, I was just a second-year student from a tier-2 college in India.
No portfolio worth flexing.
No massive experience.
And absolutely zero firsthand exposure to Web3 or crypto.

I was hired as a 2D NFT artist, which made perfect sense at the time. Illustration was the only thing I truly knew. I had done some work with Spotify and Nickelodeon as an artist, so this felt familiar and safe.

Then the plan changed.

We moved from simple 2D NFTs to 3D evolutionary pNFTs, a territory I had absolutely no clue about 🥲

Even in college, in a class full of 3D talent, I felt like the black sheep. My knowledge was basic at best.
Honestly, what kept me pushing wasn’t confidence, it was belief.
The trust from @XohebS , the respect I was given, and for the first time in life… financial independence.

So I learned 3D the only way possible, by doing.
Every day, while building the NFTs themselves.

Teachers who had only ever known me as “the illustration kid” were shocked to see me creating polished 3D artwork.

And that’s how Flash Beasts were born.

After the Beasts came to life, a new fear appeared:
What happens when they’re burnt? What happens next?
The team needed more than just an artist.
So I slowly stepped in.

Motion graphics.
3D animation.
Basic Figma.
Sleepless, adrenaline-filled nights.

Soon I was working on growth posts alongside @rb_tweets and without realizing it, I had become a one-man studio inside the office.

Then came UI.

Out of curiosity, I opened YouTube tutorials… and accidentally fell in love with product design.
When @allinbitcoin_ acknowledged the skill, my first real UI project became home.flash(.)trade and it’s been upward ever since.

Today, at 23, I represent Flash as its Chief Creative Officer.

But the truth is
I started as a 19-year-old kid with nothing except curiosity, stubbornness, and the urge to become something more meaningful.

And honestly… I’m still that kid.

[Mushahid @Magicianafk]

happy to win my first hackathon on @solana

i only started building on solana a few months ago, and built Ghost Stops in just 48 hours, bringing fully onchain trailing stops, OCO orders and bracket orders to @FlashTrade V2 perps powered by @magicblock

[ABDR @Dev_ABDR]

Every perp DEX claims solvency.

I checked.

Built a live reconciler for @FlashTrade V2 covering all 901 baskets and every open position.

Result: 98/98 market sides match on-chain state exactly, down to the raw token unit.

Verification > trust.

like how come your swap page still looks like its from 2022? How can you be so asleep on the wheel.

The underlying ifra is good but users need a better modern UI

Traders deserve better and we will make Flash Trade the best place to trade both spot and perps.

@KartiPC @NTA_Exams You should also shut down all the shopping malls since there might be a theft in one of them. And close the roads because I heard someone was speeding.
