I’m excited to announce my participation in the March 2026 Security Council Elections!
Motivation
I am a security maxi who believes that doing everything we can to prevent hacks and security incidents within our ecosystem is the only way to truly hit mass adoption. Arbitrum is one of the more important ecosystems within the web3 space and needs highly skilled, proficient people to be on the Security Council. I have the skills, experience, and availability to contribute in this way to the Arbitrum community.
Qualifications
I have over a decade of experience in the blockchain space with much of that time being spent in security roles. During my time at the Ethereum Foundation (2016-2021) I coordinated every network upgrade and was on the emergency response team responsible for responding to security events on chain and off chains. This gave me a lot of experience in war rooms, emergency comms, and security councils. I was a member of the Polygon PoS security council multi-sig while I worked there as VP of Governance and Community from 2023-2025. I am currently on the board of directions for the Ethereum Cat Herders Institute with the role of Treasurer. Because of this and prior roles, I have a lot of experiences with Safe.
I spoke about threat models and multi-sigs at Protocol Berg last summer: Are You Vitalik or Are You My Mom? Analysis of Wallet Set Ups

Conflict of Interest Statement
I do not have any COI. I work full time as Head of Ecosystem at the cybersecurity firm CertiK and serve on the board for the Ethereum Cat Herders Institute.
Thank You!
Thanks to everyone who is participating in this process, from the voters to the other security council candidates and everyone in between
