• —Founding engineer on NeuroVibes, a human performance analytics platform taken from nothing to production. Live with around 100 users across defence and public-sector engineering organisations.
• —Built the core assessment framework behind all 12 production assessments, cutting roughly 200 lines of boilerplate from every new assessment added.
• —Grew from sole developer to lead of a team of four, owning design decisions and sprint allocation, and built a structured user story framework that cut back-and-forth clarification with product managers during sprints.
• —Built the AI interpretation layer on AWS Bedrock and the Converse API: a multi-step agent that identifies a theme, selects the relevant assessments, ranks performers, and synthesises a readiness summary.
• —Enforced role-based access control at the GraphQL resolver layer across four user tiers, with async subscriptions streaming agent responses as they complete.

• —Optimised P-256 elliptic curve verification inside RISC Zero’s zkVM by eliminating Montgomery form arithmetic and using hardware-accelerated modular multiplication. ECDSA verification fell from 13 million cycles to 2 million, a sevenfold reduction.
• —The result turns on field size: Montgomery form is the canonical choice at RSA-2048 scale, and counterproductive at P-256.
• —Delivered over a 12-week internship with no prior Rust, elliptic curve, or zero-knowledge experience. Submitted upstream to RustCrypto after several review rounds with RISC Zero engineers, with the full derivation and cycle-cost analysis published publicly.
