Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSameer Wagh is a founder and senior research scientist with 11 years of experience building privacy-preserving ML systems at the intersection of applied cryptography and product engineering. He founded SecretBit Ventures, leads research at OpenMined, and serves as a visiting researcher at the University of Virginia after heading privacy and R&D at Devron where he turned concepts like vertical federated learning and AI-driven privacy checks into shipped features. A Princeton PhD and former UC Berkeley postdoc, his work spans secure multi-party computation, homomorphic encryption, differential privacy and practical deployments that now inform open-source projects and startups. Trained in theoretical physics and advanced mathematics, he brings a creative, constraint-driven problem-solving style that blends deep theory with hands-on engineering and product delivery.
