Hello everyone,

My name is Abdurezak Tesfaye, and I am an Information Systems student from Ethiopia.

I recently started learning OpenFHE and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). I am passionate about privacy-preserving AI and secure machine learning.

Currently, I am studying OpenFHE, building projects, and reading research papers. I joined this community to learn from experienced researchers and developers and hopefully contribute to the project in the future.

Thank you for welcoming me. I look forward to learning and collaborating with everyone.

Best regards,  
Abdurezak Tesfaye
