I am a cryptography engineer, aspired to narrow the gap between the promise of cryptography and the reality of it.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I enjoy reading contrarian essays on conventional wisdom, and occasionally write about applied crypto and system security.

I find decentralization overrated, and standardized protocols underrated.

The top 2 things on my mind are: finding convinction and commoditizing network effect.
