Alignment Statement
I currently hold rETH, RPL, and have a few minipools. I believe in much of the vision of Ethereum and how Rocket Pool can contribute to it. I’ve been contributing to the RP community for a couple years in the forms of completing grants, contributing to tokenomics, being a delegate, and am a member of the GMC.
Conflict Statement
Other than being on the GMC (GMC is the best MC), I have no conflicts.
Identity Statement
I have extensive experience modeling biological systems. I tend to be driven by a curiosity to know how and why things work, which has lead me from cryptography to Rocket Pool. In the two years I’ve been a part of the community I’ve performed a number of roles, from research and analytics to governance.
Contribution Statement
The main thing I would have to offer to the IMC is experience using data-driven approaches and an intuition of how complex systems react. If my past history on the GMC is anything to go by, I am also likely to be cynical that things will do what people think they will or that we should be spending money on them. I tend to be skeptical of things that do not have data showing they work, which is unfortunately most things in the crypto ecosystem currently.
A major weakness I have is that I am not the most experienced in defi, and would characterize my level as beginner to intermediate. As part of my role on the GMC I have gotten experience making swaps in a safe, using L2s, and investing in looping strategies.
