Every blog starts as a note. I publish what I learn so I can always come back and understand it again. And these posts are written from my personal notes. AI is used only for grammar, formatting, and readability.

I'm a Computer Science student interested in zero-knowledge proofs, cryptography, and high-performance systems. I enjoy reading research papers, implementing protocols from scratch, and sharing my understanding through detailed technical articles. This blog serves as both my personal knowledge base and a resource for anyone interested in modern cryptography.
