Ava Chow

I am a developer, specializing in C++, Python, and rust, although I can do other stuff with programming and server maintenance and management. Currently I am an engineer at Blockstream. I primarily work on, and am a maintainer of, the Bitcoin Core and on the Hardware Wallet Interface projects. My focus is on wallet functionality and interoperability between different wallet software. I also perform Guix builds (previously Gitian) for Bitcoin Core and all build results can be found on my Github fork of Bitcoin.

Every Monday at 2 PM Eastern Time (America/New York Timezone), I livestream my work on Bitcoin Core and HWI on Twitch.

I am also the moderator of the Technical Support and Development and Technical Discussion sections of Bitcointalk, as well as the Bitcoin StackExchange.

Projects

I have worked on many projects, all of which are open source and can be viewed in my Github account. Some of these projects are for myself and others projects commissioned by others. Some of my projects involve modifying existing open source projects Occasionally I also contribute to other open source projects that I use either personally or as a dependency of my other work.
