What's different from other CVs? Seems similar to pitches on most personal sites.
This "CV" is the embodiment of show, don't tell: it's a lot more convincing than a bullet point saying "experienced cryptographer".

"If you've got" may not be formal "correct" English, but everyone understands it and it's used quite commonly in daily speech (and writing). I would wager that "if you've got" may actually be preferable to "if you have," in order to engage the reader at a more comfortable, personal level.
The issue is, I think, "you've got analysis" vs either "you've got an analysis" (singular) or "you've got analyses" (plural). Still, pretty minor thing to nitpick about.
Great story. I just wish the title was in BTC rather than USD.

The author is a very talented applied cryptographer with a very impressive resume (he is looking for new projects). The following CV line stands out however: Google: Software Engineer, Ads Review. June 2014– March 2016. Angular / Java developer on the internal tool used by contractors to review Google ads for policy violations. How did that saying about "brightest minds working on ads" go? I am not blaming the author…
Yeah, and it's why I left that job for something else.

Getting paid $300k / year to work on CRUD apps seems pretty nice to me.
Working in easy or boring stuff for a lot of money is nice if you need it, but miserable if you're an intrinsically motivated person.
