Hello! I am a computer science and business graduate from the University of Southern California. I have developed and worked on various software projects from websites and apps to static bug analysis of Go code.
I have particular interest in the web3 space and its potential to aid humans to organize and cooperate more effectively. Previously, I was a full-stack software engineer at Tally building fast and reliable web-apps using React/Next, Go, and Postgres. I’m interested in improving SWE processes to take advantage of LLM tools.
Interests: Network Societies, technology x democracy, DAOs, on-chain governance, LLM-aided engineering processes
Communities: Optimism (former Delegate through Blockchain@USC), Gitcoin (Former Steward)

Web3 Social: Driving New Forms of Identity, Connection & Value Creation
A research blog in collaboration with Superscrypt and Blockchain@SC detailing the different web3 social protocols and their value propositions.
Details the sanctioning of Tornado Cash and how it serves as a measurement for decentralization within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Current Thoughts on DAOs [Journal]
I express my thoughts on DAOs and their potential to improve the way humans organize by allowing for more experimental (and hopefully more decentralized and democratic) forms of governance.
Improving DAO-Community Relations
I give a thorough overview of the Gitcoin community, different “personas” within the community, as well as what context they are likely to know about/have access to. I then provide recommendations to improve the communication and relations between the Core DAO and its community.
