Hey! My name is Andrei.

I'm currently working in the Core Protocol team at Pagoda, developing NEAR blockchain. My main focus right now is building a Zero-Knowledge prover for WebAssembly programs based on the Cranelift compiler. Before this I've been working on large-scale distributed data processing systems at Facebook, Yandex and DeepMind.

In my free time I enjoy online coding competitions, ranging from standard algorithmic contests like Codeforces and spanning all the way to marathons, solving hard optimization challenges or finding computer security breaches (Deadline24, Codingame, ICFPC, CTFs).

Apart from that, I am a keen traveller, love cycling, bouldering and playing board games.
