CRAFT

I explore and build web3 collectives, combining org design theory with online community operational excellence. Through this work, I serve as a sort of network architect and look to discover emergent digital-first operating models.

Currently, I am building decentralized governance for the ZKsync Protocol and community, which scales the Ethereum ecosystem with zero-knowledge proofs. My role focuses on defining and implementing the necessary strategy and architecture to achieve its mandate. I am also the head curator at Folklore, an online media community focused on the digital humanities.

Last year, I participated in the Summer of Protocols program as a Core Researcher. The research throughout the summer focused on online formations like swarms and how protocols influence their structure.

If you are passionate and relentless in the pursuit of new models of networked collaboration, lets connect. Together we can garden and engineer our terrain of communication through next-generation leadership, operations, and community management technologies.
