Privacy-first civic infrastructure
Designer-turned-builder with a brain reboot in version 2.0. In early 2024, I survived a stroke (thanks, Covid) and spent the next year relearning how to walk, talk, and not scare the tech people away by saying “zk” or “blockchain” (still working on the last).
Missed a €25k grant I’d already won because I was literally learning to stand again — but fair trade: I leveled up my deep tech skills, upgraded my perspective, and dropped the shyness around zero(-knowledge). Now I build tools like zkVote and zkTender, helping humans make decisions with privacy, consent, and very little bureaucracy.
“In democracies, privacy should be sacred — but most voting today is either traceable, manipulable, or entirely opaque.”
A suite of trustless, anonymous, cryptographic tools for civic expression — for real people, not just developers.
