Blockchain & AI Software Engineer
PhD Candidate
5+ Years of Software Engineering Experience
I love building blockchain applications and making the web more open for everyone. I’m fascinated by how AI is reshaping the world, and I enjoy experimenting with it and shaping it through my own code. Side projects are my weakness—once an idea hits, I can’t let it go.

About Me
I’m M M Imran (Pollob) — a PhD student at Wayne State researching the resilience of decentralized systems. I approach security like an engineer: finding where protocols break under pressure and building tools developers can trust in production.
Before academia, I spent five years in the industry, shipping full-stack systems in PHP, JavaScript, and Python. That experience taught me that security isn’t just about theory — it’s about scaling and performing under real-world pressure.
I live in this loop: build → break → learn → share. You’ll find 50+ GitHub repositories of my experiments (blockchain, ML, web), plus long-form blog posts designed to give other engineers the fastest path to understanding. I love the moment someone says, “Oh… now I get it” — just like my past self.
