### SleepingShell
I am an individual who has been studying cryptocurrency and cryptography for over a decade. In college I studied the cryptography of both Monero and Zcash, and my Master’s thesis was an implementation of ring signatures, stealth addresses, subaddresses and (now deprecated) Borromean rangeproofs.

I additionally have implemented zero knowledge applications using Circom and will be creating cryptographic primitives for Aztec’s Noir standard library.
