About me:
I am a software developer with over 10 years of professional experience. In the past 4 years I have been full-time in web3 development, using mainly Solidity (for smart contracts) and JavaScript/Vue on the frontend.
My focus is mainly on non-financial usecases of crypto, especially Web3 Social (e.g. social networks, chats etc.). I think tools which enable decentralized communication and governance are of major importance.
Some of the tools I’ve built include the Arbitrum Delegate Frame on Farcaster, which allows Farcaster users to check who their delegate is, and set a new delegate if needed. Another tool is called Iggy and it’s a Web3 Social framework, sort of like “wordpress” for web3 social.
I am an active voter in the Arbitrum DAO. I support proposals which are geared towards decentralization, censorship-resistance, and better communication & governance.
I often attend Ethereum conferences (Devcon, DevConnect, ETH Prague etc.) so you can meet me there and discuss everything related Arbitrum and Web3 Social.
I voted FOR this proposal on Tally. I think it provides a better system of organizing and funding DAO-related events.
As for whether to organize an Arbitrum-specific event not attached to any other conference, I think this sounds better on paper than in reality (at this point). I see for myself that when I travel to attend a crypto event, I choose to attend large conferences with many (side) events rather than to attend a smaller specific event with no other events around it (because it’s easier to justify the personal travel cost of attending a larger conference with side events). In the future, when the Arbitrum community grows, it could have its own major conference, but for now, let’s stick with side events attached to some major conference (e.g. an Ethereum conference or a non-crypto conference like krst from L2Beat proposed).
