Hi Optimists 🔴✨

I am a independent contributor to the Optimism ecosystem. I've been working in the Optimism Ecosystem full time for the last year doing work in both Education and Governance. The reason I am dedicating my career to Optimism is because I truly believe that Optimism's vision with Retroactive Public Goods Funding can elevate not just the crypto industry, but the world as a whole. I am doing everything in my power to make that vision become a reality, and with your vote I will always think about the long term success of Optimism.

How I've contributed to Optimism to-date:

• Community Governance Call Host. Every two weeks I host the community governance call to bring together delagates and ecosystem participants for discussions.
• Season 3 Grants Council Member & Season 2 Committee Member.
• Contributor to Optimism codebase (
• Multiple Educational Videos about Optimism, L2-related EIPs, The OP Stack, and Optimism Protocol Tutorials.

My technical backround combines Product, Machine Learning, and Economics/Incentives. Here are some highlights:

• Product manager at venture-backed machine learning startup (web2)
• Master of Science in Robotics from Carnegie Mellon University, focus on machine learning & incentive systems
• Also worked as a machine learning engineer (web2) and have been active in developing smart contracts for 3 years
• I’ve placed in multiple web3 hackathons, including 1st out of 27+ teams.
