Hey! I'm Timofey
I am an enthusiastic researcher in cryptography and distributed systems, who enjoys sharing his knowledge and neat findings 🤓 I design blockchain-oriented protocols and develop web3 infrastructure 🏗️
There are many things that I find interesting, but if picking those I focus on most, then it would be:
- 1️⃣ verifiable and private computation with ZK and MPC
- 2️⃣ secure blockchain scaling with data-availability sampling (DAS)
- 3️⃣ chain and network layer privacy.
I find inspiration from 👥 talking with open-minded people, 🎨 spectating different kinds of modern digital art, and 🪐 discovering science and mysteries of our universe. 👉 I value open-source, rights to privacy, and simple human kindness 🤗
