Current Objectives/ Goals:
Use PCD recursion to demonstrate a "ZK State Channel" which summarizes state execution to the effect of both privacy and scalability. First to be demonstrated with Battleships (p2p gameplay without nodes or sequencers).

ZK Experience:

Running the Mach 34 consultancy:
- Placed 4th/20 in NounsDao ZK Governance Proposal Round
- Worked with Aztec to build BattleZips-Noir tutorial series
Individual experience
- BattleZips-Circom (6th place EthDenver 2022)
- Ethereum Foundation Privace & Scalability Explorations grant for BattleZips-Halo2

Projects

ZK State Channels

A novel ZK construction for privacy and scalability by exchanging proofs over p2p channels to recursively build a state object offchainZero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), Rust, ECDSA, Plonky2, Recursive Proofs
