For the past two years, I have been working as a security analyst and investigator, helping to onboard web3 users and providing essential services to various projects. My role includes conducting product reviews, usability audits, investigative research, and exploit response support. During my time at Celo Foundation, as a DeFi Analyst, I have gained valuable experience working with builders and learning from diverse founders. This has inspired me to contribute more to web3 by getting involved with DAOS and earning web3 credentials. In the past year, I have completed a Kernel fellowship, web3 analytic courses from MetricsDAO, and I am now a TRM Certified Investigator. I have published over 50 investigation reports on Breadcrumbs.app and actively contribute research to DeFi exploits and incident response reports.

By supporting my work, sponsors can directly contribute to open-source investigations and, ultimately, foster a more secure and trusted web3 ecosystem. I will use the funds to continue supporting security initiatives and other onchain researchers educating and updating the community on the best safety practices. It will also go towards training courses and cybersecurity certifications that allow me to stay up-to-date on the latest security vulnerabilities and exploit trends.
