No, either you want to become a cryptographer and you’ll need to learn, implement toy algorithm, toy with libraries, etc. But you’ll need some level of proficiency before putting anything to production. The real code contribution of cryptographers anyways tend to add some very specific details to libraries (like adding their latest invention). Now the general advice is that if you want to skip the 15 years it take to become a cryptographer and you want to send a message, there are ways.
