Mairon Mahzoun is a Co-Founder and CTO with a decade of experience building payment infrastructure and secure, high-throughput systems for real-world transactions. Based in Eindhoven, he combines deep cryptography research—authoring FHE-friendly ciphers and breaking or analysing multiple modern schemes—with hands-on engineering that has delivered private clouds and payment services at production scale. He led architecture and open-source integration for global instant-settlement systems at 4Mica while concurrently contributing cryptographic expertise at 3MI Labs. His PhD work produced practical attacks and novel primitives (including Chaghri and XHash) that influenced ZK- and PQC-related ecosystems, showing a rare blend of offensive and constructive research. Previously he engineered private-cloud payment platforms serving millions daily and optimized microservices in Go, Elixir, and Python for resilience and security. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic cryptographer who turns theoretical advances into deployable, auditable infrastructure.
