Candidate Profile

Security Council decisions are high-stakes, often time-sensitive, and require people who actually understand what they're signing off on, technically and operationally. The combination of what SEEDGov brings as an organisation and my background as our representative is exactly what this role calls for:

• Hands-on smart contract and protocol analysis,
• Direct experience managing multisig infrastructure,
• Deep familiarity with Arbitrum's governance and technical stack, and
• A track record of operating under structured, accountable frameworks.

We're not newcomers to Arbitrum, and we're not here to rubber-stamp decisions. We're here because we think governance security is just as important as protocol security, and we want to help make sure both hold up.

I have been in crypto for over six years, five of them full-time. I've spent two and a half years as an Associate Researcher at BCAS, and I'm currently a Blockchain and Smart Contract Advisor at Axis Group, where my day-to-day involves reviewing the code and architecture of major DeFi protocols and Layer 2s as part of Decentralisation Audits and technical assessments under MiCA. That means identifying protocol-level risks and evaluating smart contract systems under strict regulatory and security standards — I've contributed technical input to more than 40 whitepapers and several licensing processes across that time, which has given me a detailed picture of how these systems are built, how they interact, and where the failure points tend to live.

On the Arbitrum side, I'm part of the Stylus Sprint programme as a milestones reviewer, where I've reviewed more than 40 technical milestones across projects contributing core infrastructure to the Stylus stack, giving me direct exposure to Arbitrum's technical architecture and development pipeline from both a technical and governance angle.

On the brother Layer 2 ecosystem side, I'm currently serving as Governance Facilitator for the Operations Committee of Scroll DAO, where I'm responsible for setting up and managing the DAO's multisigs. As part of that work, I've also built tooling to monitor DAO activity and multisig transactions, including a dedicated interface to track and categorise multisig operations, and Dune dashboards tracking protocol and DAO activity more broadly. I've also led technical tracks on ZK-EVM architecture through the Scroll DAO Accelerator Programme, helping onboard contributors to the practical realities of working within an L2 ecosystem.
