Summary
Tanner Duve is a software engineer with a master’s in computer science and a background in mathematical logic, based in San Francisco and focused on the theoretical foundations of language, mathematics, and computation. With three years of industry experience at Nexus-XYZ working on a zkVM, he blends practical Rust engineering with deep interests in type theory, category theory, and functional programming (Lean, OCaml, Haskell). He is particularly drawn to formal verification and formalized mathematics, and is exploring applications of formal methods to AI and cryptography. Tanner’s profile reflects a researcher-engineer mindset: he ships systems while seeking provable correctness, bringing mathematical rigor to applied cryptographic and language problems. His personal site documents ongoing experiments and thinking at the intersection of types, categories, and secure computation.
