Michael Peres speaks with Yoon Auh, founder of Nuts and Bolts Technologies and holder of 37 patents in applied cryptography. Drawing from a background in physics, engineering, Wall Street trading systems, and privacy tech, Yoon explains how his work evolved toward building more resilient, flexible, and user-controlled digital systems for a post-quantum future.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How Yoon went from physics and engineering into Wall Street trading systems and algorithmic problem-solving
• Why he became obsessed with privacy, data control, and the limits of Web 2.0 architecture
• How DNA and biological systems inspired his thinking about redundancy, resilience, and self-describing encrypted data
• Why he believes post-quantum cryptography will force a major rethink of blockchain security
• How his QFlex approach could give users more control over how their assets are protected in a future-proof crypto environment
