Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Gama is a Principal Privacy Engineer and former Chief Computer Scientist with over a decade of experience bridging academic research and production cryptographic systems. He holds a Ph.D. from École normale supérieure and has led R&D in lattice-based and homomorphic encryption, publishing and teaching advanced courses while shaping product architectures for cloud and distributed systems. At SandboxAQ and previously Inpher he translates post-quantum and privacy-preserving primitives into deployable software, including substantive contributions to the widely used TFHE homomorphic-encryption library. Based in Lausanne, he pairs deep C/C++ and algorithmic expertise with practical engineering—autogenerating low-level memory tooling and implementing core keygen/bootstrapping routines—to make cutting-edge crypto both efficient and usable.
