  • Why do you want to be a Steward of this Working Group?

I’ve been an active member of the ENS DAO for a year now. I’m a regular on the discussion forum, participating in various conversations and a wide range of topics. I attended all Ecosystem meetings since I joined last year. I wrote articles (most notably Meet ENS and Who will drive ENS adoption) and created tutorials about ENS aimed at promoting a better understanding of ENS. Through these endeavors, I’ve met amazing people and fellow builders who never fail to impress with their expertise and creativity.

My dedication to the ENS ecosystem extends beyond my involvement in the DAO. I have already fully dedicated myself and my career to ENS by building Namespace - a subname management platform built on top of ENS, which also allows me to have a unique insight into the industry, community, and broader ecosystem.

To stay connected with the ENS community, I spend a significant amount of time on Twitter spaces and events. These platforms have allowed me to engage in meaningful conversations with ENS users, gaining invaluable insights and fostering a stronger sense of community. As someone with a background in Computer Science and International Business, I see myself as a bridge between the ENS and its broader community, helping everyone to better understand the DAO and the protocol, and helping community-led initiatives as much as I can.

If I had to give a one-sentence reply to what would I do as a Steward, I’d say that I will work towards growing and strengthening the relationships between all parties that make the entire ENS ecosystem including the ENS Labs, the DAO, ENS Partners, Ecosystem projects, and Community, while helping everyone get whatever they need to run their end of operations smoothly.

I work great in teams but am also a proactive self-starter who is comfortable taking initiative on his own. Most of my professional career revolves around partnership management and business development, and I have almost a decade-long experience in launching startups from the web2 world.

I believe I’m easily coachable, eager to listen, learn and continually improve myself. With utmost confidence, I believe that the ENS ecosystem working group offers the ideal environment for me to contribute meaningfully and maximize my personal growth. As a Steward, I will continue to help people on the forum, social media, and in real life to understand ENS better, and will continue to represent the DAO to the best of my abilities regardless of any circumstance.

  • Any other information you wish to share with Delegates (e.g. potential conflicts or existing engagements)

For me, ENS checks all the boxes for being a perfect DAO and a protocol in every conceivable way. One aspect I would personally like to help slowly explore is ‘biz-dev’, preferably by incentivizing and harvesting the power of the community which would simultaneously improve governance activity and participation.
