Hello,
I'm very interested in working on your project. I'm an electrical engineer so I'm very comfortable with numbers, formulas and math in general. I've worked in the Matlab environment for over 20 years and developed many algorithms.
I'm not sure about your machine learning intentions but I have also used neural networks within Matlab, primarily for classification purposes. If you would like to use a different technique or platform, I would be happy to learn it as I'm considering doing so anyway.
Just to be clear and honest, if you need me to write algorithms in another language like Python or C++ or something, then I'm not your guy. Also, I'm not experienced in cryptography but I could probably write code for a basic technique. Otherwise, I'll do my best to satisfy your needs.
Thanks. Mark
