1:1 COACHING
Learn zero-knowledge, with someone who ships it.
A personalized coaching plan for engineers, founders, and researchers who want to go from reading about ZK to building with it — math, proof systems, circuits, and a real project, with direct feedback the whole way.

100%
plan built around your goal
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for people who want to build, not just watch
Engineers moving into ZK
You can code, but proof systems and circuits are new — you want a fast, guided on-ramp instead of piecing it together from scattered docs.
Founders building a protocol
You need to understand the trade-offs well enough to make real architecture decisions, even if someone else writes the circuits.
Researchers wanting applied intuition
The theory is familiar; you want the engineering instincts for how it actually gets built and where it breaks.
WHAT WE COVER
For now, every plan draws from these four areas
Σ
~2–3 sessions
01
Foundations & Math
Modular arithmetic, finite fields, groups, and elliptic curves — the exact prerequisites for understanding any proof system, taught at the pace your background needs.
◆
~3–4 sessions
02
Proof Systems Deep-Dive
Groth16, PLONK, STARKs, and Bulletproofs: how each one actually works, their trade-offs, and how to choose the right one for what you're building.
⬡
~4–6 sessions
03
Circuit Design & Tooling
Writing and debugging real circuits in Circom, Noir, or Halo2 — constraint systems, witness generation, and the bugs that only show up when verification fails.
▦
Ongoing
04
Applied Project Mentorship
Ship something real — a private identity proof, an anonymous voting circuit, or a ZK feature for your own protocol — with code review at every step.

FORMAT & DURATION
Pick a shape, or we'll figure it out on the intro call
Single Session
1 call · 90 min
Unstick one specific problem — a circuit bug, a design decision, a proof-system choice, or an architecture review.
✓One focused 90-minute call
✓Written summary & next steps
✓Good for a specific blocker
4-Week Sprint
Weekly sessions · 4 weeks
Go deep on one focus area — foundations, a proof system, or circuit tooling — anchored by a small project.
✓Weekly 1:1 sessions
✓Async review between calls
✓One focus area, one small project
MOST POPULAR
12-Week Mentorship
Weekly or bi-weekly · 12 weeks
The full roadmap: foundations through a shipped project, with ongoing mentorship and code review.
✓Full curriculum, your pace
✓Ongoing project mentorship
✓Code review between every session
FAQ
Before you reach out
No — the Foundations & Math focus area exists for exactly this. If you're already comfortable with the math, we skip straight to proof systems and circuits.
Mostly Circom, Noir, and Halo2 for circuits, plus whatever proving-system libraries are relevant to what you're building. We'll pick the right tools for your goal on the intro call.
Sessions are booked directly with me once your plan starts — weekly or bi-weekly depending on the plan. Times are flexible across most time zones.
Yes — several plans are paid for by an employer as part of upskilling. I'm happy to provide an invoice or write-up describing the engagement if HR needs one.
Life happens — sessions can be rescheduled with reasonable notice, and multi-week plans can be paused and picked back up later.
