Ilia Iliaschenko developed core features for the worldcoin/iris-mpc repository, focusing on secure multi-party computation workflows and distributed systems. Over seven months, Ilia engineered modular protocol components, optimized gRPC networking with streaming, and introduced batch processing for distance computations. Using Rust and C++, Ilia implemented custom serialization formats, concurrency primitives, and robust error handling to improve throughput and maintainability. The work included cryptographic enhancements, observability improvements with structured tracing, and type-safe network value handling. By refactoring core modules and expanding unit tests, Ilia reduced runtime risk and enabled scalable, privacy-preserving data operations, demonstrating depth in backend and systems programming.

October 2025: Delivered the Oblivious Swap Network feature for iris-mpc, enabling oblivious swapping of distances and IDs within Aby3Store and introducing the apply_oblivious_swap_network orchestrator to coordinate secure/private comparison and reordering of vector data in the MPC workflow. This enhances privacy and data handling capabilities in the MPC pipeline and sets the foundation for more efficient, privacy-preserving vector operations.
