BETA.VERO.SITE

βετα.vero.site
obviously, a held item you can use to Mega Evolve into a betaveros.


Hi! I'm Brian. Many people know me online as betaveros.

I'm currently (winter 2023) doing interpretability research at Anthropic (check
out our newest paper, Towards Monosemancity!). Previously (2020–2022) I was
building end-to-end encryption at Zoom — see our ASIACRYPT 2022 paper, Rotatable
Zero Knowledge Sets; before that, I did a Masters of Engineering in
computational music at MIT (2020).

I also love solving and writing puzzlehunt puzzles. I ran the 2023 Galactic
Puzzle Hunt with ✈✈✈ Galactic Trendsetters ✈✈✈.

More broadly, my interests include information security, web development, UI
design, and programming language theory/design/perversity; as well as singing,
mystery visual novels, and dragons. 🐉

PROJECTS AND CREATIONS

   likely best known for the fact that I topped the Advent of Code 2022
   leaderboard with it — here are my solutions
 * gph-site and Puzzlord, Django apps for running and writing puzzlehunts,
   respectively; Puzzlord was built from scratch for the 2021 Mystery Hunt
 * DP Puzzle Hunt, a puzzlehunt targeting beginners. All the puzzles are still
   solvable online, check them out!
 * and more…
