Gorun Jinian Open-Source Software Engineer

I build secure, privacy-focused software, with a focus on Bitcoin infrastructure and applied cryptography.

Engineering self-sovereign software.

I am an open-source software engineer working at the intersection of Bitcoin, mobile platforms, and applied cryptography.

My work centers on air-gapped architectures and tools that give users direct custody of their Bitcoin — most notably MetroVault, which turns any Android phone into a Bitcoin hardware wallet. I value correctness, minimal dependencies, and open-source collaboration.
