Hi all,

Ed from ScopeLift here! I’m excited to apply for my 2nd season on the Developer Advisory Board. After a successful season managing my responsibilities as S6 DAB Ops Lead, I’d like to devote my engineering and leadership experience to the new DAB Foundation Mission Team. With the different bodies of the Collective working together to achieve one intent, we’ll support a synergy between technical Foundation missions and the OP Labs roadmap. I’ll leverage my understanding of the OP Stack, my connections with stakeholders, and my experience as a lead contractor to support the evaluation of mission applicants and milestones. I’ll also seek the Ops Lead position again, managing ops within the DAB as well as maintaining a presence on Grants Council calls, badgeholder meetups, L2Beat office hours, OP Labs protocol calls, and beyond. Thanks, and please feel free to get in touch.

“Ed was an essential member of the S6 DAB team. Beyond his official responsibilities, he actively took a role improving our operations, finding opportunities for collaboration with other councils, and thinking about the future of the DAB. I hope to be able to work with him again in S7.”
– @zachobront

As the Grants Council lead, I worked closely with Ed throughout S6, particularly on application handovers to the Developer Advisory Board. Thanks to Ed’s diligence, the DAB never missed a milestone, and his proactive participation in GC office hours ensured he was always up to date. I can’t think of a better candidate to lead operations for the DAB in S7.
