What motivates you to apply for this position?
I am a business owner and active software developer with 12+ years of professional business experience (20+ hobby) and founder in the IOTA and Shimmer space.
I have project management experience and worked on hundreds of diverse projects in many key industries. The Shimmer community treasury will only achieve its highest potential, if it can judge the technological soundness of each incoming funding application. Many proposals will be highly technical or rely on complex technical concepts. My motivation is to provide the expertise necessary to judge these projects fairly on technical grounds.
What is your educational and professional background?
Like most people, I came from the classic web2 world. I taught myself PHP when I was 12 and started writing bots for websites and browser games.
In my professional career I was most of the time developing individual business software for small and medium-sized businesses with project lead responsibilities for more than 10 years.
I was in the ETH space for a long while before I discovered IOTA 2017 and fell in love with IOTA ever since.
I left the crypto space again in 2018 to start my own company, which focused on individual software development for small and medium-sized businesses, before I completely returned to the space in late 2019. Not only that, but I have been involved in many community projects ever since.
Here are some of my highlights:
- Developed the “Mobile Retter” system, which won the Google Impact Challenge 2016. (backend and app development).
- Promoting and educating about IOTA on social media.
- Founding of my own start-up, consulting businesses on their business processes and developing individual software solutions.
- DAO Pioneer of 2021.
- Involvement in several high profile IOTA and IOTA related community projects in some capacity.
- Moderator of the official IOTA Discord (thanks tree, hi spec).
- Winner of the IOTA DAO Pioneers IDEAthon (with the IOTA Content Creators DAO).
- Co-founder of the “IOTA Content Creators DAO” (Community-elected as Tech- and Security Coordinator).
- Co-founder and CEO of Daobee (CEO, Vision, Game design, Development).
- Co-founder of Tangleverse (Vision, Coordination, Backend).

What is your long-term vision of the Shimmer Community Treasury? How do you see the Community Treasury affecting the Shimmer & IOTA ecosystem, and what does the Shimmer & IOTA Ecosystem look like to you in three years?
IOTA and Shimmer have the most exciting tech-vision in all of crypto, and it is the duty of the Shimmer Treasury to help build an ecosystem around that basis. I believe that the best tech will win in the end. However, I also believe that this process can take decades, if it is not sped up by funding exciting new start-ups, technology leaders in the space and some good old marketing and education to bring in new users and builders.
In a couple of years we will see a sea of tech start-ups running on top of the truly next-generation IOTA, Shimmer and Assembly networks. Many promising projects will have been funded from the Shimmer treasury and, who knows, maybe one of them will rise to become the first real globally known brand of the IOTA ecosystem.
