About

I’ve been a RARI DAO delegate since 2023. My journey in web3 began in 2021 as a researcher at BanklessDAO—my first “job” out of college. I’m a developer and content creator focused on helping people experience web3 as contributors, not just traders or investors.

RARI Foundation gave me the space to grow creatively; from launching Contributor Cards, which recognize and amplify DAO contributors, to producing a community podcast exploring how NFTs can disrupt traditional industries. I’m here to help creators find a pathway to becoming a contributor to the RARI DAO, and to support our existing contributors and builders as well. My mission is to make DAO contribution more accessible, expressive, and rewarding.


Core Values

  • Cypherpunk energy – self-sovereignty, transparency, and open participation
  • Creative freedom – to build, express, and own your work onchain
  • Meritocracy – effort and impact deserve recognition

Goals

  • Encourage proposers who bring novel, disruptive ideas to the table
  • Expand NFT use cases that challenge traditional models in music, education, and the gig economy
  • Foster an environment where contributors feel excited to innovate

Disclosures / Conflicts of Interest

I actively contribute to multiple DAOs and web3 orgs. Any relevant affiliations will be disclosed prior to voting.

### RRC-36: Rumble.exchange – DAO Support Proposal
Voted: For
Rationale:
This was a small, milestone-based grant for a platform testing NFT and meme coin integrations on RARI chain. Supporting experimentation like this is essential to expanding use cases, attracting new users, and stress-testing RARI infrastructure in ways that might unlock bigger opportunities later.

### RRC-37: RARI Foundation 2025 Operational Budget
Voted: For
Rationale:
I voted For because this is the Foundation’s annual budget. It covers the resources needed to keep operations running and execute key priorities like multichain governance and treasury diversification; both critical to the DAO’s long-term scalability.

### RRC-40: RARI DAO Delegate Incentive Program
Voted: For
Rationale:
I’ve been a delegate here for over a year, and I’ve seen how much consistent participation relies on intrinsic motivation. This program introduces a clean, retroactive reward model that reinforces good governance behavior without inflating complexity.
