Zero-Knowledge Proofs AI Security CUDA Cryptography CTF Low-Level Systems

I work on Zero-Knowledge Proofs, AI Security, and GPU-accelerated cryptographic systems. Currently exploring the intersection of cryptography and low-level systems engineering.

Hi, I’m hxd77 — a graduate student from Qingdao 🌊, working at the crossroads of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, AI Security, and systems engineering.

I’m fascinated by the idea that you can prove something is true without revealing why — that’s what draws me to ZKP. On the AI side, I think about adversarial robustness, prompt injection, and how to make LLMs actually trustworthy. I also play CTF competitions (crypto & web), because there’s no better way to understand security than breaking things apart.

I build with CUDA ⚡ and C++ ⚙️ to push cryptographic computations to the limits of modern GPUs. I also use Python 🐍 for prototyping and research.

I’m a firm believer that the best ideas come from cross-pollination — reading widely, staying curious, and never stopping at the surface of things. Outside the terminal, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors 🏔️, reading the latest papers on GPU-accelerated cryptography, or diving into a good book over coffee ☕.

The quieter you become, the more you can hear. — and the same applies to reading code.
