Please include information about the layer of the stack you have the most expertise on:** I have been a TechNerd since Season 4. As a TechNerd, I have solved many cases related to OP Stack development, including launching nodes and OP Stack chains. I have also contributed to bug fixing and documentation for OP Stack. My expertise lies primarily in OP Stack. I have developed many projects, most of them on Optimism, such as RetroList and Opti.Domains. I have also contributed to the ENS Gateway development upgrade for the OP Stack dispute game fault-proof merge. Most importantly, I maintain simple-optimism-node, the simplest and fastest Docker-based approach to launching an Optimism full node. In addition, I have experience in Cosmos module development and non-EVM chains, including Sui and Aptos. I am also experienced in deploying validators and indexing nodes for various protocols. **Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role:** - [1st in Axelar 2nd Code4rena audit contest](https://code4rena.com/contests/2022-07-axelar-network-v2-contest#top) - [2nd in Axelar 1st Code4rena audit contest](https://code4rena.com/contests/2022-04-axelar-network-contest#top) - [Contribute to Seaport in Gas Optimization](https://github.com/ProjectOpenSea/seaport/pull/384) - [Fork Wagmi Library to integrate support for custom ENS UniversalResolver support](https://github.com/Opti-domains/wagmi) - [Fork Rainbowkit Library to integrate support for the domain name on Optimism](https://github.com/Opti-domains/rainbowkit) - [Participated in SCB Bangkok Blockathon 2023 and won 3rd price with 838.Earth project](https://medium.com/scb10x/beyond-defi-scb-10xs-bangkok-blockathon-winners-showcase-novel-use-cases-for-blockchain-730b92f9e537) - [Participated in SCB Bangkok Blockathon 2021 and won 2nd price with Estate-Onblock project](https://www.scb10x.com/blog/winning-teams-blockathon-2021) - Has experience developing a crowdsourcing platform for a large running event in Thailand with more than 10,000 participants actively submitting their running progress to our system with a bunch of volunteer grading submitted progress. - Won silver medal in 13th Thailand Olympiad in Informatics (TOI13) - Won many hackathons in the past **Have you previously served in a representative (appointed or elected) role in the Collective?** TechNerd.

Developer toolings are important for the adoption of OP Stack and Superchain. S5 Intent: Intent 1 - Progress towards technical decentralization Proposing Delegate: Proposal Tier: Ember Baseline grant amount: 250,000 OP (10k - 50k OP Each) Shou… > [@\[READY TO VOTE\] OP Stack Research and Implementation](https://gov.optimism.io/t/ready-to-vote-op-stack-research-and-implementation/7397): > > Mission Request made by @Chom and originally shared [here.](https://gov.optimism.io/t/seeking-mission-request-sponsorship/7130/42) Delegate Mission Request Summary This mission request is designed to enable the developer community to contribute to the core OP Stack by engaging in research and implementation on various topics. Since this is a research problem, it’s possible that this may fail. In such cases, grantees are required to open source their implementation and create follow-up documentation that details the reasons for failure and any obstacles encountered.… **Pull Requests and Issues Discovered** - [Add Base Sepolia support to Reth](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/pull/5697) - [Report Reth on base mainnet not working with op-node v1.5.0](https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/issues/6388) - [Fix add protocol version to getting-started.json](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/pull/7449) - [Contributed to the development and upgrade of the ENS Gateway for the OP Stack dispute game fault-proof merge](https://github.com/ensdomains/evmgateway/pull/45) Finally, as a TechNerd, I have solved many cases related to OP Stack development, including launching nodes and OP Stack chains. **Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Mission Application:** - Aligned with the mission request - Explain the brief technical implementation of the project - Not a bunch of buzzwords packed together - Team should have related past experience in that field - Have an impact on the collective - For end-user applications, prefer the one with a good revenue and business model over the builder-only application, especially if revenue sharing is proposed. - For end-user applications, the mission application should have both builder and growth aspects. Otherwise, adoption is unlikely to happen. However, the current grant system design discourages this. **Please demonstrate your ability to explain complex technical topics to a non-technical audience:** As a TechNerd, I have solved many cases involving OP Stack development, node launching, and OP Stack chain deployment. I have also contributed to technical documentation, which requires the ability to explain complex technical topics simply. **Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest:** I have contributed to these projects and companies - RetroList - Opti.Domains - Upnode **Please verify that you understand you may be removed from this role via the Representative Removal proposal type in the [Operating Manual](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/OPerating-manual/blob/main/manual.md):** Yes **Are you interested in the Ops Lead or Upgrade Czar roles?** No **Please verify that you understand KYC will be required to receive Council rewards at the end of Season 6:** Yes **Please verify that you are able to commit ~20 hours / month to Board operations** : Yes --- _[View the full topic](https://gov.optimism.io/t/season-6-nominations-developer-advisory-board/8117)._
