Worked on the Plonky3/Plonky3 repository to deliver a robust upgrade to STIR query sampling, replacing the previous approach with unbiased rejection sampling to ensure uniform and distinct query indices. Leveraging Rust, algorithm design, and cryptography expertise, introduced a new sampling method using CanSampleUniformBits::sample_uniform_bits and implemented sampling without replacement. Expanded test coverage with property-based and empirical uniformity checks, ensuring soundness and reliability. Overhauled documentation with improved clarity and structure, aligning cross-repo references. All changes passed comprehensive CI and QA pipelines. This work reduced modular-bias risk, strengthened security-bound proofs, and improved maintainability for future adoption across related projects.
April 2026: Delivered a robust upgrade to STIR query sampling in Plonky3/Plonky3, replacing the previous sampling path with unbiased rejection sampling to guarantee uniform, distinct query indices. This includes switching to CanSampleUniformBits::sample_uniform_bits and sampling without replacement, updating documentation, and expanding tests to verify soundness and end-to-end reliability. Result: stronger soundness guarantees, fewer edge-case vulnerabilities, and a maintainable path for future adoption.
