Interests
- I’m mostly interested in the uses of cryptography to solve real-life privacy and security problems.
- I’m also interested in the more deep foundational works about cryptography and the relation to complexity theory.
- I really enjoy writing, and this is why I initially started this blog.
In The Past…
- I was working as a full time applied cryptography researcher at ZenGo.

Other Hobbies! (Or: I do have some life!)
- I enjoy traveling
and everything which is traveling related. - I’m an avid unprofessional photographer
! I enjoy learning more about it, starting from basic techniques, equipment, optics and digital processing. - I’ve been playing the piano
for 17 years and enjoy listening mostly to classical music. - I love cooking
and also eating my cookings afterwards. - I enjoy teaching
and explaining how things work, mostly for the selfish cause of understanding it better myself
