Question 4

Yes. He develops Solidity smart contracts, token systems, wallet integrations and DeFi features, and has built a full cryptocurrency trading platform with live market data and on-chain token swaps.

Question 5

Do you work with clients in the US and UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alok works remotely with companies in the United States and the United Kingdom, alongside clients in India. Engagements run fully remote — video calls, shared repositories, and your existing project tooling (Slack, Jira, Linear, GitHub). Contracts, NDAs and IP assignment agreements are standard and welcome.

Question 6

What timezone do you work in, and will our hours overlap?

Accepted Answer

Alok is based in Delhi, India (IST, UTC+5:30). That gives a natural overlap with UK business hours for most of the working day, and with US Eastern mornings. For US West Coast teams he keeps a late-evening IST window. Overlap hours are agreed up front and written into the engagement, not left to chance.

Question 7

How do payments and contracts work for international clients?

Accepted Answer

Fixed-scope engagements are quoted in USD or GBP and invoiced up front or in milestones. Payment by international bank transfer, Wise or Stripe. Standard contract, NDA and IP-assignment paperwork is signed before work begins, so all deliverables and source code belong to you.

Question 8

Is Alok Sharma available for hire?

Accepted Answer

Yes. He takes on fixed-scope consulting engagements — performance audits, architecture and code reviews, AI integration sprints — as well as monthly technical retainers and longer contract work. He is also open to senior engineering and technical leadership roles.
