Prototyping and implementing privacy‑enhancing features in C++ for Brave browser (based on Chromium). Reverse‑engineering and debugging parts of the Web (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) that interact badly with Brave’s cutting‑edge privacy protections (example: digging into website functionality that breaks because of Brave’s anti‑fingerprinting mitigations). Developing both categorical improvements and fixing individual websites when it comes to privacy and website compatibility for Brave browser.

Ability to write clear technical documentation and less technical writing for blog posts or public communication. Be excited about privacy, anonymity, and censorship resistance!
