Hi, I'm Pedro

I'm a Senior GPU Engineer at Zama, where we work to make fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) practical by shipping it in production-grade systems—including TFHE-rs and FHEVM.

I have a PhD in Computer Science from the Institute of Computing at the University of Campinas (Unicamp), and I care deeply about privacy-preserving technologies and secure cloud computing. I've been building on CUDA since the early days of that stack. I'm still learning, but by now I can usually tell whether the slowdown is the math, the memory, or me having a bad day.

My research focuses on developing efficient implementations of cryptographic schemes, particularly homomorphic encryption, to enable computation over encrypted data without compromising privacy. I have worked extensively with GPGPU implementations to accelerate those cryptographic operations.

I am passionate about open-source software and believe in making privacy-preserving technologies accessible to everyone.

Onwards!
