Anna Hovanskaya contributed to the zkFold/symbolic repository by developing and optimizing features for symbolic computation and arithmetic circuit design using Haskell. Over two months, she engineered benchmarking utilities, dynamic resizing, and robust circuit optimization, focusing on performance instrumentation and correctness. Her work included refactoring compiler internals to enhance type safety and simplify constraint systems, as well as fixing critical bugs in range handling and unsigned integer arithmetic. By integrating CI/CD improvements and maintaining clean, readable code, Anna established a more reliable and maintainable codebase. Her efforts deepened the project’s foundation for future optimization and complex circuit support in functional programming environments.

December 2024 — zkFold/symbolic: Delivered significant enhancements to arithmetic circuit optimization and a major compiler internals refactor, with targeted bug fixes and CI stabilization. The features delivered include robust optimization (variable replacement, constraint simplification, zero-term filtering) and a refactor of the compiler type/constraint system (Functor constraints, toConstVar). Major bugs fixed included UInt overflow handling in splitExpansion and correctness of negate, plus a CI newline fix in the Optimization module. These changes improve reliability and performance of circuit generation, reduce production risk, and establish a stronger foundation for complex circuit support. Technologies demonstrated: advanced optimization engineering, compiler internals, type-safe design, constraint solving, and CI hygiene.
