Ross Chadwick

• Hacker, explorer, maker of strange things that are sometimes useful

• Currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands

• Areas of interest include:

  • Peer-to-Peer/Distributed Systems

  • Cryptography/Cryptology

  • Information Security

  • Machine Learning

  • Knowledge Engineering

  • Knowledge Representation & Reasoning

  • UX/UI (particularly in the domain of cryptographic systems)

  • Political Science (and how technology can improve equality/transparency of political systems)

• Sometimes I get fed up with computer stuff and go do things like this:

  • Cycling & hacking on anything with two wheels

  • 3D printing & modelling (still partly computer stuff, but I mostly get to stare at a 3D printer instead of a screen)

  • The outdoors, hiking, camping, survivalism and generally any activities that give me a break from society for a while

  • Plants, hydroponics, micro-ecosystems

  • Self-sustainable housing and living environments - I'm a firm believer that a society with less central points of failure allows for greater prosperity of its people
