About Arjun Iyer
I am a CS Honors student in the Quantum track and a Mathematics major at the University of Maryland, focused on applied cryptography, especially post-quantum cryptography and zero-knowledge proof systems, with a strong systems and software foundation.I am Vice President of Blockchain @ Maryland, where I help shape technical programming and community growth, including scaling the org from 3 to 50+ active members. I run workshops and learning tracks on ZK proving systems and modern crypto infrastructure, and I enjoy translating dense concepts into builder-friendly projects.Previously, I was a Fullstack Engineering Intern at dentsu Product Intelligence, where I worked on a market intelligence platform used by 200+ employees.I like building end to end systems across performance-oriented software, cryptography research, and practical AI infrastructure such as RAG and vector search. I am always excited to connect with people working on crypto infrastructure, ZK, security, or high-performance systems.
