Hi there, I’m Vivek! This personal wiki and occasional blog contains my thoughts on technology and documentation of my projects. I primarily explore cryptography research (CG), but I also write about autoworlds (AW), artificial intelligence (AI), and other technical intrigues! I am hoping that this site becomes a resource for anyone to understand complex technology in a friendly but deeply informative way.

All writing here is a work-in-progress, and very open to feedback! There are many pieces that are incomplete or half-baked — I get distracted easily and hop around many pages when I write. If you want to discuss something further, suggest a correction, or suggest a topic to write about, please email me@vivs.wiki or DM me on Twitter! I also go by vivboop or River Ruby on other parts of the web.

I am on a mission to never lose touch with my inner child. I am a huge nerd and easily excitable. My favorite activity is to listen to other nerds nerd out about random shit they love. Doesn’t have to be anything I know about, I just feed off of genuine passion. If that resonates, reach out! Let’s be nerds together.

Projects

Compilations of various projects that have shaped the technologist I currently am. It’s a mix of applied research, e2e products, and academic work.

Project proposals

All of these ideas are works-in-progress; I will properly publish + promote them when they are finished. But if any of them resonate or you know of similar work, please reach out!
