Bio

  • From Conversations with the Coop (7-5-2022):

"I kind of fumbled from like job to job, like just not really doing anything until I wound up landing in the air force, which was I think very beneficial for myself. Long-term and I was in the air force for four years. And then I started working at a bank called USAA. It's like mainly served veterans and their families and I helped them start like a blockchain lab there. And then show that to Joe Lubin and try to get like acquired or invested by. Consensys and he didn't really like that, like the platform, but he liked us. And so he hired us to do the Eth core development for Consensus. We built an ETH client together. We both jumped out actually at the same time, like just by coincide. He jumped out to found Element. I jumped out to work for Dapper Labs for a little bit. And then Maki asked me if I wanted to work at Sushi. And after was like, like all sorts of like crazy and turmoil, like surrounding that. So I just kind of took a break for like a month, took my family to like Hawaii and Dubai in Egypt. We didn't like all the flux. Then, like I met Justin and we started working on Astaria, which is this capital efficient lending platform."

"Joseph Delong to be SushiSwap’s new CTO. Along with Joseph, Boring Crypto, Clearwood, and I’m Software will be joining the team as Core developers following the approval of this proposal."

  • Update: Joseph left as CTO after 2 weeks of drama (9-12-2021). Had some fall out on Twitter when someone claimed Sushi had become a company, ruled by 5 of the main DAO members (25-11-2021). Rekt looked into it and had some pretty convincing evidence that indeed, this group had been taking over the DAO in less than positive ways (6-12-2021).

Occupations
