Welcome
I write about math, ai, crypto, cs and anything capturing my curiosity. Bite-sized but rigorous. No PhD required.
Zero-Knowledge: Turning Computation into Polynomials (Part 1/3)
From a program to a few polynomial equations: how SNARKs encode computation through flattening, R1CS, and the QAP transformation
Verkle Trees: Polynomial Commitments (Part 2/2)
How a single curve point can commit to 256 children, and why proofs shrink from kilobytes to bytes
Ethereum's Merkle Patricia Trie (Part 1/2)
How Ethereum stores its state, commits it to a single hash, and why that design is hitting its limits
The Education Value Chain: Where AI Fits
Education isn't one thing. Decomposing it into stages reveals where technology can actually help.
