Please elaborate on your technical background. Please include information about the layer of the stack you have the most expertise on:
- I’m a smart contract engineer at ScopeLift, a smart contract dev consultancy firm focusing largely on governance-related projects. Some of our recent work:
- Flexible Voting, an extension of OpenZeppelin Governor: GitHub - ScopeLift/flexible-voting: 💪🗳️ Flexible Voting – A Powerful Building Block for DAO Governance
- Umbra: privacy preserving stealth payments on mainnet, Optimism, etc: GitHub - ScopeLift/umbra-protocol: 🌕🌑 Privacy Preserving Shielded Payments On The Ethereum Blockchain
- UniStaker: allows Uniswap Governance to enable and manage fees on pools, permissionlessly distributing fees to UNI stakers: GitHub - uniswapfoundation/UniStaker: Staking infrastructure for fee collection and reward distribution for the Uniswap protocol.
- MultiGov: a flexible multichain solution for DAO governance: Wormhole, Tally, and ScopeLift Announce ‘MultiGov,’ the First-Ev… — tally.xyz
- L2 Optimizoooors: An awesome hackathon project that minimized calldata on popular L2 contracts to make transactions cheaper: GitHub - ScopeLift/l2-optimizoooors: Gas efficient routers for L2 applications
- Before I worked at ScopeLift, I worked with Thomas Jay Rush on TrueBlocks. I honed a data analysis skill that could be helpful to S6’s DAB, but more importantly, the mentorship from this exceptional guy strengthened my values around OSS, public goods, and giving to the community.
Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role:
- My engineering & EVM experience listed above are my main qualification.
Have you previously served in a representative (appointed or elected) role in the Collective? If so, please specify which:
- I’m an Optimism badgeholder since RetroPGF 3.
Please outline your contributions, and their impact, to the Optimism ecosystem to date:
- ScopeLift has done some work for Optimism:
- Refactored OG gnosis multisigs for the OVM: GitHub - ScopeLift/ovm-og-multisigwallet: 💼 The OG Gnosis Multisig, updated to work on Optimistic Ethereum
- Refactored Uniswap for OVM: GitHub - ScopeLift/uniswap-v3-core-ovm: 🦄 🦄 🦄 Core smart contracts of Uniswap v3
- RPGF3 volunteer reviewer
- Supported Ben Jones’s “roll roll roll… up” cover of Mackelmore’s Thrift Shop via spirited accompaniment on sax
I’m also generally keen to be a lot more involved in Optimism governance going forward, and hope to demonstrate a strong commitment starting in this season’s DAB.
Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Mission Application:
A good mission application should:
- make clear its relevance to an intent,
- have a well-formed token distribution plan, and
- have clear milestones to hold teams accountable.
Please demonstrate your ability to explain complex technical topics to a non-technical audience:
- Writing user-facing documentation every day!
- Tutored multiple students with no code background in Javascript and Solidity.
- Speaker at PHL Blockchain meetup.
- Former English major.
Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest: If you are a top 25 delegate in another ecosystem, hold an elected position in another DAO, and/or are a multisig signer in another community please disclose here.
No conflicts of interest.
Please verify that you understand you may be removed from this role via the Representative Removal proposal type in the Operating Manual 1:
Understood & verified.
Are you interested in the Ops Lead or Upgrade Czar roles? If so, please share relevant experience and one idea you have for how the role could contribute to the collective.
I’m interested in the Ops Lead role as described in Zach’s proposal. I often PM on client projects, and this organizational skill could serve the Ops Lead role well. My DAB budget proposal (Ed Mazurek - Developer Advisory Board Operating Budget) outlined some ideas on improving DAB transparency, including more Grants Council outreach and forums communication. One that I’d like to pull forward is the maintaining of public updates on forum and monthly solicitation of feedback from Grants Council. I think these ideas and others from my proposal could fit well within the role’s description, and I’d be really happy to take on driving comms and scheduling for the board.
Please verify that you understand KYC will be required to receive Council rewards at the end of Season 6:
Understood & verified.
Please verify that you are able to commit ~20 hours / month to Board operations:
