Statement of Intention / Values & Reasons for Joining
I care deeply about about digital public infrastructure, and in particular the design and deployment of better, more user-centric, solutions for decentralized identity. Gitcoin is best placed to advance these technologies, and I am excited to support it’s mission as a Steward.
Web3 Qualifications / Skills
I previously led technical community at Blockchain Commons, an open source technology nonprofit founded by internet cryptography and self-sovereign identity pioneer Christopher Allen. In addition, I cofounded the Humanetics Workshop, an interdisciplinary working group focused on advancing proof of personhood discourse and technologies for cryptoeconomic systems. The project was awarded an Ethereum Foundation grant in 2021. More recently I built Everyname, a name and address middleware protocol that fetches data from any blockchain naming system. It is a free-to-use public good for the community.
