My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: To be additive to a protocol I am extremely excited about. I am a MakerDao OG and have seen first hand what works and doesn’t work and would like to apply my experiences to this exciting project

My view on the Optimistic Vision: 1. Really great team (the guys are super OGs working with Vitalik for YEARS) 2. The OP approach makes sense - to create an L2 (rollup) that is as close to Ethereum L1 as possible. Also to keep the changes to geth node under 1k lines of code. Less code = less opportunity for bugs. Very elegant approach. Using heavily tested infrastructure as geth = less bugs.

My view on the first three articles of the Working Constitution:

This is a working constitution : Completely appreciate it is a work in progress and that the community will amend multiple things; this is very exciting and hope my experience can be helpful OP Citizens and OP Holders will equally coexist within the Collective : Incentives must be aligned. Getting this balance right will be tricky to pull off and very intrigued on the initial end product and then the improvements based on actual feedback. The Optimism Foundation will be a steward of the Optimism Collective and its early governance model : As a Maker OG, I am a big believe in foundations and am supportive of and of the view that the Optimism Foundation will act in the best interest of the ecosystem.

My skills and areas of expertise: I was with Maker Foundation in Finance, etc. for over 2.5 years. I also have deep capital markets, structuring and economics background. Been involved heavily in Maker and DeFi for over 4 years.

My favorite Web3 projects: MakerDao, elemen finance, L2Beat List ≤ 3 projects
