Aninda Ghosh

Founding Engineer

Parallel Worlds · New York, NY

Founding engineer at Parallel Worlds, building end-to-end payment, settlement, and fulfillment infrastructure for a live art marketplace, and architecting the white-label expansion for WRTH (real-world asset commerce, $100M+ inventory).

• Custom Stripe Connect Settlement Pipeline: Designed and shipped a settlement engine with T+14 escrow triggered on delivery confirmation, state-by-state tax calculation, platform fee deductions, and credit card fee handling. Replaced Stripe's hosted checkout with custom UI components for tighter marketplace-native UX, backed by webhook-driven dispute and chargeback handling.
• Order Fulfillment & Logistics: Integrated Shippo for label generation, pickup scheduling, and live tracking. Escrow release logic keyed off delivery confirmation events, with idempotent fund hold mechanisms to guard against duplicate webhook processing.
• WRTH White-Label Expansion ($100M+ inventory): Led architecture of a white-label deployment for real-world asset commerce. Migrated Firebase to Supabase with edge functions, redesigned the multi-channel inventory data model, integrated on-chain asset verification via Xion blockchain, and built a Gemini-powered valuation pipeline using computer vision to identify items from photos and pull cross-marketplace pricing (eBay, StockX).
• Crypto & Fiat Payment Infrastructure: Built end-to-end payment rails handling differing reversibility rules for fiat and crypto transactions. Node.js/TypeScript BFF services deployed to Render, integrating PayPangea alongside Wagmi/Viem/RainbowKit for wallet flows.

Enforced a golden CI pipeline (Snyk, SonarCloud, automated SAST/SCA), mandated Azure Key Vault for secrets, Azure-generated JWTs with RBAC, App Configuration for secure feature flags, and ORM usage (SQLAlchemy, Prisma) across all web apps. Reduced vulnerabilities by 73% across 25+ applications, ran Privacy Impact Assessments, and ensured SOX compliance for the reconciliation platform.
• Fixed Assets Verification: Led digitization of 700K physical assets across the North American zone, delivering $500K in tax savings with a 2-week turnaround and automated audit workflows.
