Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Markelon is a quantitative researcher with nine years of experience bridging cryptography, probabilistic modeling, and privacy-preserving systems, currently applying those skills at Proof Trading and completing a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Florida. His background spans applied cryptography and secure distributed computing—from post-quantum signatures on embedded devices to quantum key distribution research—giving him a rare blend of theoretical depth and hands-on implementation experience. He’s worked in both academic labs and industry security teams, producing practical tools like data analysis engines and simulation prototypes for physics collaborations. Based in New York, he draws on a hacker-minded approach (GitHub handle: Random Oracle) to translate rigorous research into production-ready solutions for high-stakes environments.
