PROFILE
Xander Van Der Goot
Xander van der Goot developed advanced cryptographic and arithmetic tooling for the worldfnd/provekit repository, focusing on high-performance, cross-platform systems. Over ten months, he engineered features such as a Rust-based ARM64 high-level assembler, SIMD-accelerated multilimb arithmetic, and a robust Number Theoretic Transform core, integrating parallel computing and low-level optimizations. His work included modular arithmetic, Reed-Solomon encoding, and WebAssembly support, with careful attention to code clarity, maintainability, and test coverage. Using Rust, Assembly, and Python, Xander consistently refactored and optimized code paths, delivering reliable, scalable solutions that improved throughput, portability, and developer experience across embedded and cloud environments.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 (worldfnd/provekit): Delivered a performance-focused set of cryptographic arithmetic enhancements with clear business value and improved API clarity. Key features completed include schoolbook multiplication scaffolding with a single-input mul and completion of the schoolbook phase, enabling reliable baseline functionality and testing. Implemented SIMD-accelerated paths for multiplication (5×5 using 6-wide SIMD) and 51-bit limb handling to boost throughput on common workloads. Brought in SIMD initialization and Montgomery reduction swizzling (RHO swizzle and post-reduction swizzle) to streamline vectorized arithmetic. Executed extraction-free reduction and optimized squaring (diagonal/off-diagonal handling, sqr reduction) to reduce latency and improve symmetry with mul. Advanced performance by enabling loop unrolling via seq_macro, and refined the public API naming (single->mono, portable_simd->batched) for clarity. Closed API integration and compatibility improvements through WHIR PR217 fixups and added debugging utilities (WIP checkpoint and count.rs) to support faster diagnostics and iteration.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025: Worldfnd/provekit - HLA crate released and hardened. Delivered a Rust-based High-Level Assembler for ARM64 with a complete HLA stack (frontend assembly, IR, backend register allocation, and code generation for standalone and inline) along with formatting cleanup to support the new crate. Introduced a robustness fix by panicking on freeing unassigned registers to prevent silent errors and removed the unused intersperse_iter feature to stabilize the crate.
