Additional Information
Elevator Pitch: I am an active Rocket Pool community member with a vested interest in its success. I am interested in the mechanics of social systems, and I strongly believe that the GMC will play a critical in successfully competing in this space by empowering the unparalleled Rocket Pool community. I am an active member of a committee similar to the GMC for another DAO.
Alignment statement
- RPL represents over 10% of my net worth.
- I operate Rocket Pool minipools.
I have a strong social interest in the Rocket Pool community as my “home base” in the crypto economy, from education and networking standpoints (as ~19k low-quality messages posted in Discord may suggest).
Conflict statement
- I have no tokens associated with other LSD providers.
- I have no professional conflicts.
- I am a Finanical Steward for the EVMavericks DAO (ManeNet DAO).
Identity statement
I am pseudo-doxxed, so I will share some information about myself while avoiding specifics.
I am a professional software engineer in my thirties, living in Texas, US. I grew up in a military family and spent time living in Germany, where I now have family, and half a dozen US states. I have bachelors degrees in computer science, engineering, and mathematics. As a software engineer, I have experience leading teams, where my professional values center around giving individuals’ passions a platform and making decisions with data.
I am one of five Financial Stewards for the EVMavericks DAO, a committee that oversees DAO funds including allocations to grants and bounties (more info here). The GMC and the EVM Stewards are very similar, and I would hope to bring a useful idea or two with me for making the committee run effectively on day one.
