Top SchoolMike Stay is a research-driven engineering leader with 18 years of experience bridging mathematical physics, cryptanalysis, and production software security. He holds a PhD exploring intersections of math physics and CS and has practical impact ranging from a ciphertext-only Zip attack and coauthoring the best-known AES attack until 2009 to leading security work at Google that influenced ECMAScript 5. As CTO of Pyrofex he built and managed an R&D team and co-designed the Casanova consensus algorithm that powered a prototype achieving 57k TPS, and he continues to lead R&D at F1R3FLY.io. Mike combines deep theoretical insight with hands-on exploits and product delivery—he even recovered significant Bitcoin via improved crypto analysis—and enjoys solving hard, unconventional technical problems.
