I'm a builder from Portugal 🇵🇹 working at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized systems, and privacy-preserving compute. I do full-stack development and infrastructure from time to time too.
Currently, I’m building a decentralized private compute protocol based on performant, verifiable MPC technology supporting confidential arithmetic operations on integers and booleans.
- Languages: Rust · Go · TypeScript · Solidity · JavaScript
- Cryptography: Garbled Circuits (WRK17) · MPC (Shamir) · ElGamal · ECDSA
- Smart Contracts: Ethereum (Remix) · Solana · L2-ready architecture
- Systems: IPFS · SeaweedFS · Decentralized Identity (DIDs)
- Tooling: GitHub Actions · Docker · Postman · Vite · Tailwind · React · Next.js
- Cloud: Amazon Web Services (AWS) · Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Prove real-world usability of private compute beyond academia.
- Open-source meaningful components of the protocol for collaboration.
- Help shift the industry toward user-sovereign computation and storage.
- Multiparty computation for multi-user private compute flows.
- Advanced circuit optimizations to reduce round complexity.
- zk-SNARK integration for compact verifiability of circuit outputs.
Whether you're a cryptography nerd, systems engineer, or privacy advocate — I’m always open to chat.
