  Dual-mode uncertified DAG-based consensus protocol — MSc thesis, graded 92%.

  +-- 9 lines: expand fold

  MSc thesis project (UCL, 92%). A DAG-based consensus protocol that switches between asynchronous and partially-synchronous operation modes without recertifying blocks. Builds on the uncertified DAG line of work pioneered by Cordial Miners and Mysticeti.

  Highlights:

  • Written in Rust, async-first.
  • Explores the safety / liveness trade-offs across network assumptions in the same execution.
  • Unit + integration tests for both happy-path and adversarial scenarios.

  See the blog for a write-up on the lineage: cordial-miners, network-models, threat-models.

  Computer-vision pipeline that identifies and extracts key information from student exam scripts — Sussex × Foxit research.

  +-- 1 lines: expand fold

  Research project as RA at the University of Sussex, in collaboration with industry partner Foxit. The goal was to take scanned exam papers and pull out structured information — student details, question numbers, marks — that downstream systems could consume without manual data entry.
