Please outline your contributions, and their impact, to the Optimism ecosystem to date:
- S5 Milestones and Metrics Sub-Committee: Was the lead for the first iteration of the milestones and metrics team with @mmurthy and @v3naru_Curia.
- S5 Code of Conduct Council: Was a member of the trial run for the Code of Conduct council.
- Spearheaded the deployment of Compound III onto Optimism
- Took part on initial Velodrome airdrop to MakerDAO multisig
- Set up and ran FranklinDAO’s (Penn Blockchain) delegation when Optimism governance was first created over a year ago.
- Active user for 2+ years, helping submit mission requests, submitting proposals for approvals, and partaking in other governance initiatives and activities (RPGF, Missions, etc.)
Do you have a technical background?:
I helped review many technical milestones as a part of the S5 grants council; I also helped review, analyze, and follow up with teams that applied for grants from Near and Aurora ecosystems. I have a BS in Economics focusing on Business Analytics and Finance with 2+ years of experience in blockchain data analytics as well as basic programming skills.
Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role and/or your sub-committee:
As part of the Uniswap Accountability Committee, our team has helped oversee and hold teams that are looking to deploy Uniswap v3 onto their chain accountable. Particularly, many chains promise x rewards for deployments and it’s our job to follow up and ensure those are delivered, directly parallel to the milestone and metrics role of this job. I was also a grant reviewer and milestone analyst for the Near and Aurora ecosystems for over a year. An emphasis and focus for me was checking in with the grantees’ milestones on a constant basis, very similar to the experience I had on the last season of the council.
Some other relevant experience includes:
- UADP (Uni/Arb delegate program): Responsibly managing delegate relations and interests for Arbitrum on behalf of Uniswap
- Contributing to a fair and decentralized framework for Ichi
- Delegate across projects such as: Uniswap, Compound, Arbitrum, Starknet
Have you previously served in a representative (appointed or elected) role in the Collective? If so, please specify which: S5 Milestones and Metrics, S5 Code of Conduct, Anticapture Commission
Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Mission Application:
A good Mission should align first with the general Optimism vision and foundational goals. There should be net positives for the entire ecosystem as well as include impactful and logical milestones for funds.
What types of Mission Requests do you think will help achieve the Season 6 Intents?:
Requests that emphasize Optimism native projects first and foremost. In favor of add-on grants for teams and ideas that have already found a niche in Optimism and have shown product market fit. More emphasis for visibility and novel ideas.
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: Delegate in Uniswap, Compound, Arbitrum, Starknet; Committee member in Uniswap
Please verify that you understand KYC will be required to receive Council rewards at the end of Season 6: I understand that KYC will be required to receive council rewards.
Please verify that you are able to commit ~20 hours / week to reviewing grant applications and other Council operations: I am able to commit 20+ hours/week to the duties of this role.
