Hi!
You may recognize me from my work in the OpenPGP ecosystem, as specified by RFC 4880 and subsequent specifications. I’ve contributed to ProtonMail’s OpenPGP.js as well as to the Android OpenKeychain.
In my spare time I’ve designed a keybase-like system of social proofs based on OpenPGP which was later extended by the Keyoxide project.
Since 2020 I’ve worked on Sequoia PGP — a complete implementation of OpenPGP in Rust — and its satellite-projects. My most significant contribution there was adding new cryptographic backend based on OpenSSL. This required tight collaboration with the rust-openssl crate maintainers, where I extended the crate with new features. During that time I’ve also assisted communities in improving their OpenPGP code, such as migrating SecureDrop’s PGP backend from GnuPG to Sequoia, creating Sequoia PGP wrapper code for PHP and Python.
