About

I’m a mathematician, cryptographer, and builder working at the intersection of number theory, blockchain systems, and public-key security. I’m the founder of FACTOR, a project creating integer factorization as a service: a market-driven way to audit and stress-test RSA-style integers through open economic incentives. My background is in advanced mathematics, cryptographic research, and high-performance software engineering. I believe cryptography should not only be trusted in theory, but tested in public. My work focuses on building systems that make security more transparent, measurable, and verifiable.

RSA Key Audit as a Service - Decentralized marketplace for RSA Key audits

FACTOR is an RSA key audit platform powered by integer factorization bounties. Users submit RSA-style integers, attach rewards, and invite solvers to compete to factor them. A commitment-and-claim flow helps prevent front-running, while public verification shows which challenges were solved. Unlike scanners or compliance tools, FACTOR turns RSA security from a static assumption into an open, incentive-driven cryptographic stress test.
