PROFILE
Miranda Wood
Worked extensively on the AztecProtocol/aztec-packages repository, delivering core features and security enhancements for the Aztec blockchain stack. Focused on low-level virtual machine development, circuit design, and smart contract infrastructure, this work included implementing AVM arithmetic logic, optimizing blob data availability, and strengthening bytecode integrity through cryptographic commitments. Leveraged C++, Rust, and Solidity to build robust simulation tools, enhance fuzz testing, and ensure audit readiness with detailed documentation and pre-audit improvements. Addressed critical bugs in memory safety and serialization, while refactoring code for maintainability. The approach emphasized reliability, cross-language parity, and secure, scalable protocol evolution across the codebase.
