I’d like to put my hat into the mix to be a Technical leader/visionary Board Observer.
A quick overview of some my technical contributions to POKT:
- First week on the job in 2019, started contributing to v0 architecture with client-side verification
- Originator of “session priming” and helped with the latency bucket reward system from original PNI Portal
- Identified the economic issues with Good Vibes, which would have crashed the POKT servicer ecosystem
- Modeled the economic ramification of MaxChains and it’s negative effect
- Created a quick, but effective solution to distribute the original altruist network and ensure rare chain coverage
- Originator of gateways being tokenized as an on-chain entity.
- Architected the first DNS distributed gateway system (and still wanting to make it a reality for POKT’s gateway ecosystem if given the green light
) - Actively designing new tokenomics models for Shannon, along with contributing in numerous other technical areas as a PNF contractor
I’ve been an active part in ever aspect of the POKT ecosystem:
- Nodes: Node running, node tooling, node economics, node selling (first node salesman
) - Gateways: gateway architecting, gateway economics, on-chain entity
- Apps: App building, app sales (first app salesman ), SDK design
- DAO: DAO voter, DAO tooling, DAO grants, community calls, events
The core values which I believe can be seen in my involvement with the POKT DAO:
- Been a stickler about POKT having real open-source culture and standards
- Always provide honest thoughts, even when unpopular, for better or for worse
- Consistently fulfilled all requirements and responsibilities from every DAO funding proposal I’ve participated in (7 so far, and all completed)
The Job
While I recently became a contractor for PNF to assist with protocol project management, I’m not a PNF employee nor board member. By being a board observer for the DAO, my goal would be to:
- Provide the DAO with greater transparency into ecosystem decision making
- Give technical insights and understand to the PNF board
- Help represent the impacts decisions will have on every type of ecosystem participant and stakeholder
- Meaningfully contribute to POKT’s overall technical vision
