I was working on image provenance before it gained popularity (search zkPhoto).
I've been involved in zkML before it started gaining traction (search circomlib-ml).
We pioneered IMO, and now everyone is jumping on board.
Stay ahead of the curve. Follow me for the next big thing.

Many people know ZK from ZK rollups, but I'm more obsessed with its privacy applications. With zk, you can prove you know a secret without revealing the secret itself. Many of you have DMed me to ask about what I do, so I want to share some of my notable open-source projects. 🧵
