ABOUT

I am currently working on Succinct. We are building a trustless interoperability layer for Ethereum that is powered by zkSNARKs. I was previously at Stanford studying computer science. I spent most of my time there researching database systems and machine learning at the Stanford DAWN Lab and NVIDIA Research. I collaborated with Daniel Kang, Tatsu Hashimoto, Yi Sun, and Matei Zaharia on much of this work.
