Anish Mohammed | Cryptographer & Technologist
Anish is the Co-founder and CTO of a DeFi startup. With two decades of experience in cryptography, privacy, and decentralized systems, he’s contributed to projects like Ocean Protocol and Ripple, and continues to push the boundaries of zero-knowledge systems and AI.
My core expertise is in the areas of blockchain and cybersecurity. I consult in the areas of security architecture, protocol analysis, token design, cryptoeconomics, in addition to verification of smart contracts and zero knowledge proof systems.
“Anish is a true pioneer of technology. Whether it is cryptography, blockchain or big data, he is always aware of the latest advancements and knows everybody in whatever fields he is currently following. The fact that he is both brilliant and always clued-in makes him one of my favourite people to bounce ideas off of.”
“Anish has a rare, wide ranging multi-disciplinary background and possess an extraordinary level intelligence. At the same time Anish is a true pleasure to work with, he is always one step ahead and not only meets but regularly exceeds expectations.
Anish has also opened my eyes to the potential of the blockchain technology and of the token economy and provided not only technical domain expertise but also elaborated a sound business model for the upcoming Arteia tokens. There are very few people in the world who actually know how to design a faultless token system and Anish is definitely one of them.
Last, but not least, Anish has high level of integrity, incredibly sound judgement and once onboard, he will be committed to the mission he has to accomplish. He is extremely well respected by the whole Arteia team, as well as Arteia’s investors. I learned a lot from Anish and have no doubt that he can deliver a substantial value in any endeavour.”
“I’ve had the chance to work with Anish on the blockchain and big data initiatives at LBG.
Anish has multiple areas of deep expertise: blockchain, security, big data, medicine. All these areas of expertise mastered by the same person enable connections not visible to many, an incredible speed of thinking and an easiness to move from big picture to detail and back.
The blockchain community is large but few are those who like Anish not only see define business cases and see implications but also do what they preach.
For me, he is the first person to go to when I deal with a hard problem to crack.”
Anish has spend over two decades in security and cryptography as a researcher and consultant, he started his career working on security of micropayment systems for Ericsson HP Telecomm. He has spent half his career researching cryptographic algorithms and protocols at three different research groups including Microsoft Research. He has advised and worked for various banks and financial institutions including AIB, HSBC, Lloyds and Zurich. He was also an early advisor to Ripple , Adjoint , reviewer of Ethereum Orange paper and was one of the founding members of UK Digital Currency Association. He has been involved in designing or auditing half a dozen blockchain protocols and more than a dozen distributed applications. He is an adjutant faculty at Harbour Space and the head of research at the Information Sciences Institute at SRH Berlin.
