I am an Ethereum enthusiast with a deep love for all things servers. I started my journey with Bitcoin as a high schooler in 2011 and gradually made my way to Ethereum, first into my Master’s thesis and then into a full time job.
I work on protocol upgrade testing at the Ethereum Foundation, as part of the EthPandaOps team. Practically, that means devnets: standing them up, watching them break, and figuring out what the break tells us before the change reaches mainnet. I’ve had a hand in the testing for every upgrade from The Merge through Shapella, Dencun, Pectra and Fusaka, and I’m currently deep in Glamsterdam.
I’m a huge believer in the transparency that blockchains enable, I think that the democratization of this transparent data is a vital feature that Ethereum unlocks for us.
Outside of that I run a homelab that I keep rebuilding, and I’m an avid photographer with a specific interest in Landscape and Travel photography. I’m a casual gamer, reader and TV show binger.
