Captivated by a Berkeley astronomer chasing KGB hackers, I trained in compsci and cryptography, worked at universities, research labs, startups, dragged science fiction into reality: Designing, architecting, implementing, and bringing to market complex systems, specialising in auditability, confidentiality, and verifiability, at scale with high-performance.
PhD, autonomous cryptosystem analysis, zero-days include complete break of TLS, walking into highstreet bank and announcing I control online transfers, starting cars without keys, architectural faults in national elections, unveiling hardware-based anonymity.
Toshiba, quantified commercial value of my methods, started mastering technique for proving system security, patented new encryption scheme using zero-knowledge to strengthen confidentiality of homomorphic encryption.
National research institutes, honed my skills in autonomous analysis and provable security, advanced autonomous reasoning and published tutorial-style manual on best practise, built and broke distributed governance systems.
Huawei, we developed and patented solutions for cryptocurrencies & blockchain, eSIM, lightweight cryptography, standardisation, verifiable transactions.
Recently, deploying end-to-end encrypted platforms over cloud, authenticating with hardware-based identity, using AI-powered tools for advertising and autonomous cryptosystem construction.
Sixteen patents, nine pending, four manuals, nine journal articles, twenty-two conference papers, twenty-six hundred citations. Code any language, favour Bash, Java, PHP, Python, and TypeScript, partial to C and Rust.
