Statement of Intention

I’ve been working with the GPC as an engineering leader since December 21, while I’ve had some web3 experience prior to this, and have been watching DAOs with interest for years, Gitcoin has really been the opportunity for me to go down the rabbit hole. I love the vision of Gitcoin, and the essential intents, and personally, I’m thrilled that we’ve aligned on our Grants 2 roadmap, we’re shipping product, and can finally say we’re achieving our mission to decentralize ourselves.

Through my experience here to date, I’ve grown to appreciate the work the DAO does to seek the balance between ambition and focus. I hope to be able to represent engineering’s needs and voice within the DAO governance process and accelerate our transition into being as much a protocol DAO as we are a social/impact DAO.

Qualifications / Skills

I’ve been in Engineering and Leadership roles for 16 years ( I had to look that up), helping to build software but over time more to build teams. I’ve worked across both large and small organizations, directly and externally in those years. And while I love the craft of engineering, I think my specialization has been as a facilitator, building interfaces with other groups, and creating environments where good engineering can happen. I believe in collaboration, facilitation, and group sense-making, and would welcome the chance to do that as a Steward in the DAO.
