I studied physics, philosophy, and computer science at Duke University. Currently, I am interested in understanding and designing new systems that apply zero-knowledge proof techniques and are socio-economically relevant. I envision ZKP being woven into some new institutional fabric in the future, perhaps one that includes bots as well as humans.

I co-founded Delendum (a cryptography focused research lab) and am working on new products that adapt to the needs of more distributed economic frameworks at Lita. You can reach me at v@delendum.xyz.

Some of the projects I have worked on or am currently working on include:

• Valida (a custom ISA zero-knowledge virtual machine)
• Taste (an LLM-based personal recommendation engine)
• Source (a bot for scientific research)
• Sudo (an AI App Store & cross-app context-sharing bot)
