I investigate a novel approach to consensus protocols that is ecologically sustainable and rigorously secure while enabling more decentralization than your typical permissioned system. It's kind of like bootstrapping consensus from a web of trust.
I develop interactive simulations that visualize the protocols and principles behind distributed systems like Bitcoin. My goal is to develop an interactive online course where students can interact with taught concepts live in their browsers.
