Recent Professional Bio

In 2022, I was a research partner at Bain Capital Crypto, working on sourcing and diligence of blockchain startups, as well as portfolio company support (e.g. Risc Zero), especially around zero-knowledge cryptography and protocol design.

Before that, I worked briefly as a Cryptographer for the Anoma project, contributing to the design of Taiga (a zero-knowledge framework supporting general state transitions) and Vamp-IR (a backend agnostic language for writing zero-knowledge circuits).

In December 2021, I obtained my PhD from UC San Diego, under the supervision of Mihir Bellare.
