I have been involved in this space since Ethereum’s beginnings and have always followed the extensive research and accomplishments made by Plasma Group. Was on the ground floor for the creation of defi and have been blessed to be able to network and get involved with some of the most innovative and experimental protocols before they caught the publics eye. Years of watching projects problem solve fail and innovate has given me a wide reaching array of understanding for various types of protocols.

served the previous two grants cycles and helped shape the grants framework from the ground up along with our other amazing council members
Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Governance Fund grant:
A good grant returns value in the form of users/engagement and capital inflow, team/culture is also a major factor and our grantees should be held to highest level of standards and ethical practices.
Additionally projects seeking grants should have an organic interest in furthering the reach/impact of Optimism.
