tell me about programming

• I'm really into TypeScript (since 2017) and Rust (since 2020). I've used them for a bunch of cool projects, like building compilers and scalable web apps.
• I'm also really good at writing Python (since 2015), C# (since 2015), and Lua (since 2014).
• There are some languages I haven't used as much, but I can easily make something with, like C/C++ (since 2020), Java (since 2021), and PHP (since 2019).
• I love creating optimization-heavy code and leveraging async programming, especially with Rust and its ecosystems like tokio and hyper.
• I usually build neat web apps with React and Next.js, but I've also used Solid.js, Svelte, and Astro
• On the backend, I use Node.js for all of my projects, but I have experience with Flask too. I use databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. I've written everything from email servers to decentralized apps.
• I've built smart contracts with Solidity and Rust on Ethereum and Solana.
• Cryptography is definitely something I love to play around with. I've implemented everything from elliptic-curve cryptosystems to blockchain prototypes using zk-STARKS and VRFs/VDFs.
• I love working with WebAssembly, both compiling to it and writing host/glue code to make it work.
• I've used WebRTC an unusual amount. It can be a pain if you don't have a good understanding of it.
• I enjoy experimenting with LLMs and AI, designing intuitive interfaces for music discovery, language translation, and as a creativity aide.
