### Cryptography Engineer @ Adjoint Inc.
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | London, United Kingdom
I developed an implementation of Bunz's Bulletproofs in Haskell which is essential to Adjoint's Blockchain. This required me to learn Haskell, and to go far beyond the Cryptography I was familiar with from University. I worked with a colleague on this project and completed it within 3 weeks, after which we open sourced the code and saw it become the most trending repository on GitHub. 

After the first month, I joined the product team, where I build the backend for Adjoint's Captive Insurance and Treasury Management products, debugged the User Interface and developed business leads with Willis Towers Watson and Deutsche Bank.
