Life Update: I have decided to leave the Ethereum Foundation. I’m very grateful to have worked with so many talented and inspiring people on an incredibly important project over the past four years. I’m proud of the work we’ve done. Here are some of my personal highlights: - FOCIL. It will likely be the first multiple-proposer gadget live on any major chain. In a world where everything is financialized, my job was to prevent these proposer seats from being traded. - Fast Confirmation Rule Go-To-Market. Designed and led the GTM strategy for FCR. A new consensus rule that drops bridging time from Ethereum L1 to L2s and exchanges down to 13 seconds. - Strategy. Argued which markets Ethereum should go for and how. Trying to bring protocol design and ecosystem development closer to each other. Why did I leave? The first three years at the EF I did market design research. The last year, I focused on product and growth work (the FCR GTM and strategic work). I really enjoy that domain and want to move further in that direction. I’m taking some time to explore ideas that build on the financial infrastructure that crypto has built. I would love to catch up with friends made along the way. My DMs are open 🙂
