<div>
<p>
hi there - disaffected finite-tape turing machine reporting in
</p>
<p>
if you're a recruiter, please click away now: not currently interested in engaging (just too busy)
</p>
<p>
interested in: {type,category,information} theory, crypto{graphy,currency}, {contract,company,cyber} law, mev, insane shitposting
</p>
<p>
in a past life i focused on compilers and computation:
<ul>
<li>stack-based languages for intermediate representation parameterised by source language effect support</li>
<li>identifying and offloading heavily numerical computation to appropriate hardware</li>
<li>implementing automata via macro tree transducers, and so on</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
brief life bio rundown:<br>
<ul>
<li>places lived: cambridge uk, johannesburg za, nottingham uk, portland or/us, glasgow uk, singapore sg, leeds uk</li>
<li>education: maths+compsci bsc jt hons, theoretical compsci phd, financial engineering msc, law llb [ongoing]</li>
<li>worked at: uni. nottingham, intel labs, standard chartered bank, arboreum, plow tech</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
i sling haskell, solidity, python, ocaml, {java/type}script - poorly in all cases
</p>
<p>
you're not going to see much on my github, it's mostly private tinkering - oss work (and spicy tweets) primarily done under various pseudonyms
</p>
<p>
rotating from defi dev to super shadowy advocate with stops along the way for law school and public policy chat
