open source work

  • turbulence: deterministic distributed system testing by injecting network and storage hardships and fuzz testing, extending turmoil
  • aros: an iOS sdk to prove images were captured on real devices using SOTA cryptography (secure enclaves, zk-SNARKs) @ treehacks 2024. read more here
  • lazyfs-rs: reimplementing lazyfs in rust using std synchronization primitives and FUSE (wip)
  • btc-warp: infrastructure and zk-SNARKs for zero-shot node syncing in chained distributed systems
