Candidate Profile

I am a security maxi who believes that doing everything we can to prevent hacks and security incidents within our ecosystem is the only way to truly hit mass adoption. Arbitrum is one of the more important ecosystems within the web3 space and needs highly skilled, proficient people to be on the Security Council. I have the skills, experience, and availability to contribute in this way to the Arbitrum community.

I have over a decade of experience in the blockchain space with much of that time being spent in security roles. During my time at the Ethereum Foundation (2016-2021) I coordinated every network upgrade and was on the emergency response team responsible for responding to security events on chain and off chains. This gave me a lot of experience in war rooms, emergency comms, and security councils. I was a member of the Polygon PoS security council multi-sig while I worked there from 2023-2025. I am currently on the board of directions for the Ethereum Cat Herders Institute with the role of Treasurer. Because of this and prior roles, I have a lot of experiences with Safe.
