Do you have a technical background?:

I possess a technical background as an IT pentester and Bug Bounty hunter, with expertise in identifying vulnerabilities and securing systems. I am proficient in several programming languages, including SQL, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and Python. As additional proof of my skills, I discovered a subdomain bug on NASA’s website in 2022. More information can be found on my LinkedIn profile

Additionally, I am a skilled designer and editor, with significant experience in creating infographics, editing, and digital art.

Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role and/or your sub-committee:

  1. Community Building: I have successfully built and managed communities for various blockchain projects, fostering engagement, organizing events, and facilitating discussions to encourage growth and collaboration.

  2. Project Management: I have led and contributed to several blockchain projects outside of Optimism, demonstrating strong project management skills, attention to detail, and the ability to effectively meet deadlines.

3.Technical Expertise: With a background in IT pentesting and bug hunting, I bring technical expertise in web development, cybersecurity, and programming languages such as SQL, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, and Python, which can be a plus in various aspects of the role.

These experiences have equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in this role and make a meaningful contribution to the sub-committee’s goals.
