cryptography, security, and random thoughts

Hey! I'm David, cofounder of zkSecurity, research advisor at Archetype, and author of the Real-World Cryptography book. I was previously a cryptography architect of Mina at O(1) Labs, the security lead for Libra/Diem at Facebook, and a security engineer at the Cryptography Services of NCC Group. Welcome to my blog about cryptography, security, and other related topics.

Looking for a cryptography engineer job? Interested in zero-knowledge proofs?

blog

Hey you!

If you’ve been following my blog recently, you must have seen that I joined O(1) Labs to work on the Mina cryptocurrency. Why? Simply because I felt like it was the most interesting project in the space, and now that I’m deep in OCaml and Rust code trying to understand PLONK and other state-of-the-art zero-knowledge proof systems work I can tell you that it is indeed the most interesting project in the space :)

My two zero-knowledge friends are too busy doing a PhD. They like self-inflicted pain. (Mathias and Michael, I’m looking at you.) So if you’re free, ping me! And if you’re not free, ping me anyway because we might be able to work something out.

Because people need a job description, check that one out: https://boards.greenhouse.io/o1labs/jobs/4023646004

But realistically, just contact me on twitter or here if you have any question about what the culture of the company is, what your day-to-day would look like, and if you can work remotely (yes).
