My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I've been working with the ZkSync team for over a year as a part of OpenZeppelin to help secure the protocol. I'm a long-standing contributor to the Compound DAO as their Security Advisor through OpenZeppelin's partnership among several other DAOs. I have a unique perspective on DAO pain points related to security and good governance practices that I can contribute to ZkSync governance as an individual delegate.

My view on the ZK Credo: It's incredibly important to ensure that leading Layer 2 Rollups remain Trustless and Censorship-Resistant to be a viable path for Ethereum scalability. I aim to ensure those values are upheld while ensuring security and scalability objectives can still be achieved.

My skills + areas of expertise: I'm highly experienced in blockchain development and security best practices through my work at OpenZeppelin. I've worked with DAO governance in many roles and also have experience in more traditional public policy as a Board Director of the Texas Blockchain Council.

Disclosures/Conflicts: I work at OpenZeppelin and where we do security work on ZkSync for the Matter Labs team as a audit partner. We also audit many other Layer 2 Rollups including Arbitrum, Scroll and Optimism.

I am acting an independent delegate and DO NOT represent OpenZeppelin.
