Hi, I’m Kareem! I’m the founder and CEO of Ammit, my tech company dedicated to applying advanced cryptography to solve every day problems. I noticed during my Master’s degree in Computing under Prateek Saxena at National University of Singapore that in the lab we’re working on the cryptographic equivalent of interstellar spaceships, while in practice the average person is using a bicycle. What people really need is a reliable car they can just drive to work on a daily basis with a minimum amount of fuss. That’s why I started Ammit: to be able to use all of the tools I’ve studied to solve real world problems. I aim to make the world, or at least the internet, a better and more private place by building cryptographic tools that are more practical than what we had before.

In addition to my CV and a list of my talks and publications, you’ll find a blog where I sometimes write things.
