I'm a cryptography engineer currently working on libsecp256k1, the library powering Bitcoin's digital signatures. Most days, you'll find me implementing or reviewing cryptographic protocols likeFROST Signing,ChillDKG,Schnorr adaptor signatures, andBatch verification. In short, I spend my time making math do some pretty cool things. My work is supported through open-source developer grants, and right now, I'm grateful to be aSpiral grantee.

I'm particularly fascinated by provable security in cryptography and am steadily developing my expertise in this area. Publishing a research paper is one of my big aspirations. Additionally, I run a Substack newsletter calledNonce Sense, where I simplify cryptographic concepts and share updates on my work.

I graduated in 2023 with an Integrated Masters (BS + MS) in Mathematics and Computing fromIIT Kharagpur. Outside of work, you’ll likely find me lifting weights, binge-reading a novel, or daydreaming about playing basketball more often.

Want to chat cryptography, collaborate, or recommend a good novel? I'd love to hear from you!
