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 as I would have done the same(and I imagine author was not told when hired that he'd be working on Java/Angular ad tool).

Again it is not that Java or Angular are bad per se, but working on ad CRUD seems completely orthogonal to author's talents.
