Jake Nyquist
Founder @ Hook Protocol
Motivation
Over the last few months, I've been building in and learning about the Arbitrum Ecosystem. Features like the working fraud proofs and the BOLD protocol make it clear that Arbitrum is the leader in security. As I continue to build and deploy here, I want to get more involved in contributing to that security posture.
Experience
I'm a software engineer and founder in crypto, working on EVM protocols. I've developed, brought through audit, deployed, and operated two protocols, which have seen millions of dollars of volume. In addition to this work, I also manage an Immunefi bug bounty program.
I'm currently developing a new protocol that will be deployed on an arbitrum orbit chain, so I'm familiar with the technical details of how the chain works, and have even posted a blog on its economics.
I also enjoy researching new protocols and frameworks in my free time. For example, I was among the first people to deploy C code on the arbitrum stylus testnet.
Skills
Cybersecurity
In addition to my smart contract work, I also manage an aws kms instance + associated security issues. In the past, I've prepared a business for a SOC2 compliance audit
