Alex Shaindlin is a research-oriented software engineer and M.Sc. candidate in Theoretical Computer Science at Tampere University with 12 years of hands-on experience building verified and safety-critical tooling. Currently contributing to an OpenSSL provider for post-quantum cryptography as part of the QUBIP project, Alex blends low-level cryptographic implementation work (binary field arithmetic for ECC) with formal methods expertise developed through Haskell and Coq projects. Past roles include developing dose-calculation and testing infrastructure for proton therapy at Penn Medicine and building a verified natural deduction proof checker during undergrad research. Comfortable across theory and systems, Alex studies type theory, category theory, and logic in his spare time and brings that mathematical rigor to practical secure-software engineering. Outside work he pursues strength training, sci‑fi, and meticulous crafts like knitting and sewing—hinting at a methodical, detail-oriented approach to engineering.
