Vienna, Vienna, Austria
I’m a PhD researcher focused on making Web3 technologies more reliable and secure. My current work centers on testing zero-knowledge tools with custom-built fuzzers, helping uncover issues and strengthen cryptographic systems. I’m also interested in smart contract testing and broader quality assurance for decentralized applications, aiming to bring robust software engineering practices to the Web3 space. Before my current position, I worked on hardware description languages, focusing on compiler generation and language implementation. Earlier, I gained startup experience in augmented reality, bridging research and real-world innovation. If you’re interested in Web3 testing, system reliability, fuzzing, I’d be glad to connect! 📍 Also sharing updates: X: @hochra1ner Bluesky: @chochrainer.bsky.social 🌐 Website: https://christoph-hochrainer.at/
