Motivation
Ph.D. in distributed systems, assistant professor at CTU Prague, CEO of Ackee Blockchain Security. Already on Lido's Emergency Committee - I know how to act fast when protocols are at risk.
As Ackee, we audited 200+ protocols, found 102 critical issues, secured $180B+ TVL. We're whitelisted in Arbitrum's Audit Programme, as Superchain Audit Service Providers, and we audited Safe core libraries. I want to help protect the ecosystem we are already securing.
Academic background + degen builder experience = good judgment under pressure.
