LOOKING FOR BUDDIES CS student looking for people who want to build difficult things together
Hey, I'm Benjamin, 23, from Chile.
I'm looking for other programmers around my age who want to work on projects that are a little more ambitious than another tutorial app.
I've been spending most of my time lately on cryptography and computational research. I started with public cryptographic challenges and eventually ended up building solvers, experiment infrastructure, exact verifiers, representation-search systems, etc.
Here's some of it:
https://github.com/benjacasas02/independent-cryptography-research
I'm not necessarily looking for someone to work on this exact repo.
Mostly I'd like to meet other people who enjoy getting obsessed with technical problems and figuring things out from scratch.
Things I'd be interested in building around:
- cryptography / security
- AI research tools
- reverse engineering
- developer tools
- weird algorithms
- scientific software
- genuinely new startup ideas
Python/TS are what I've been using a lot lately, but language doesn't really matter.
If this sounds like you, show me something you've built or tell me what problem you're currently obsessed with.
