Hello! I love programming. My favourite areas are distributed systems (consensus algos, Google designs like Borg/Bigtable/Spanner/GFS), cryptography like ZK S[NT]ARKS, multi-party computation (MPC), compilers and virtual machines and runtimes (like Erlang or even how PHP was implemented lol), game engines, databases, I hate architecting with React.js but frontend/HTML is fun creatively, I like smart contracts and DeFi protocols (lending, perpetual futures) and the game theory, and blockchains!
Real-life diabetic cyborg.

Zero Knowledge Cryptography,
- giza - a prover for the Cairo ZK-STARK environment.
- quark-blockchain - an experimental blockchain using STARK's and partitioned transactional memory. Closely related to research I did on goliath.
