About

I came to systems engineering from physics. That background is the reason I work the way I do: I want the structure to be legible, and I would rather implement something from scratch than trust a black box I do not understand.

Most of what I do now sits at the intersection of cryptography and adversarial infrastructure — protocol-level tools in Rust, hackathon builds across several ecosystems, and the kind of security research that involves reverse engineering things to figure out how they actually work. In parallel I study cryptography by implementing it: recent labs include SIS lattices, the number-theoretic transform, and a Baby-Ligero prover.

Recently I presented a paper on a real-world Web3 supply-chain attack at the iSCSi 2026 conference, accepted for publication in an Elsevier journal — more on the research page.
