Summary
Yuki K is a Security Engineer with a decade of experience bridging applied cryptography, post-quantum research, and production security for platforms and developer infrastructure. They have delivered practical security and infra work across industry and academia—from building searchable encrypted databases and a .NET PQC library integrated into Bouncy Castle to hands-on platform and IAM roles at companies like Mercari and Coles. Comfortable switching between research and ops, Yuki has implemented NTRU Prime/NTRU from C to C# and highly parallelised encrypted query pipelines using Apache Spark, demonstrating both low-level crypto fluency and large-scale systems thinking. Recent roles span platform security, penetration testing, and trading network infrastructure, showing an ability to secure fast-moving, high-stakes environments. Based in Mars/Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with ties to Japan, they combine global perspective with open-source contributions that advance post-quantum tooling. Notably, their work has moved experimental cryptography into production-ready libraries used by broader ecosystems.
