Alignment Statement
I’ve been a member of the Rocket Pool community since December 2021. I started some minipools via Allnodes then, and switched to using my own hardware. I was drawn to Rocket Pool due its alignment with the Ethereum ethos. I’ve stayed interested in the community due to the interesting problems that need to be solved across the hardware, software, data, analysis, economic, and social layers to make this thing work. I also am significantly invested in the protocol.
Conflict Statement
99% of my crypto holdings consist of ETH, rETH, RPL. I am experimenting with some of the protocols I’ve learned about in my IMC role. I am also a Nodeset operator.
Identity Statement
I have a PhD in physics, and work as a staff machine learning engineer in the autonomous vehicle industry. I’m in my mid-30s and live in California.
Contribution Statement
- I have served 1.5 terms on the IMC. My main IMC contribution has been being a reliable transaction reviewer and signer. I’m happy to remain an IMC member at my current contribution level, however I would be fine to step aside if there are new folks who want to be more involved.
- I created a Dune dashboard for Rocket Pool which has proven highly useful in tracking some key metrics that are of use to the IMC (e.g. rETH peg, liquidity). I’ve also done a smaller amount of with in coordination with @Valdorff on the Rocket Pool Community Dune Team.
