Hey! My name is Andrew.

I'm currently self-employed, consulting high-impact projects that advance Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Blockchain Scaling. I've been working in the blockchain space for the last two years as a Staff Engineer at NEAR Protocol, focusing on blockchain scalability. 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.
