Motivation

I have a long history of working to help build out the Arbitrum Tech stack. This has given me a personal interest in seeing Arbitrum succeed, as well as wide & deep knowledge of the technology, which I believe puts me in a strong position to help keep the DAO's chains secure.

Experience

  • 4 years at at Offchain Labs (2020-2024) where I led the design and implementation Arbitrum’s smart contract components, including the core protocol contracts, the token bridge, the cross-chain governance system, and, indeed, the contracts responsible for this very Security Council election. I also contributed to technical documentation, protocol design/research, web-dev, and client side tooling.
  • Active member of Ethereum L2 research community, including publishing research / technical explainers for The Block, Forbes Crypto, and MolochDAO.
