Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDragoș Rotaru is a cryptography researcher with 13 years of experience applying privacy-enhancing techniques to real-world problems, currently working at Circle after recent roles at Gateway, Inversed Tech and Zama. He specializes in designing, developing and implementing multiparty computation protocols that enable joint computation on private data without revealing inputs, blending academic rigor from a PhD at the University of Bristol with production-focused engineering. His background spans industry and research labs—including a Microsoft privacy internship and work at Cape Privacy—giving him a practical track record of translating advanced crypto primitives into deployable systems. Based in Bucharest, he’s comfortable moving between prototyping research ideas and integrating them into product stacks, often tackling efficiency and usability challenges that aren’t obvious from papers alone.
