Occupation: CEO / Governance Lead at Curia Lab
What is your motivation for applying to this working group? (max 3 sentences)
I’m applying to join the UAC to enhance transparency and accountability in Uniswap governance, especially around delegate contributions and incentive mechanisms. We believe strong, consistent oversight encourages more meaningful participation from delegates and community members. Our goal is to support fair evaluation standards and help improve the quality of governance discussions.
Please list your association, history, and contributions to the Uniswap protocol or DAO:
I and Curia Lab has served as an active Uniswap delegate, regularly publishing our voting rationales on all the proposals. We advocate for transparent, merit-based incentive frameworks and have repeatedly shared constructive feedback on proposal and delegate-ranking models—most notably in support of GFX Labs’ metric-based approach. Beyond Uniswap, our team aggregates and analyzes governance datasets for DAOs such as Optimism Collective, Arbitrum DAO, and Safe DAO. We aim to supply delegates and researchers with actionable insights that strengthen oversight, foster informed discussion, and advance accountable governance.
Briefly provide an overview of any other working groups or teams that you have been a part of in relation to a DAO (limit to most relevant):
Our team has worked with multiple DAOs including Optimism, Safe, Arbitrum, and Gnosis - supporting them with proposal evaluations, governance tooling, and research. I’m currently serve on the Optimism Grants Milestone and Metrics Council, where I help grantee define grant KPIs and ensure accountability of their grant milestones in funding outcomes. These experiences have shaped my ability to work collaboratively across stakeholder groups and bring rigor to DAO processes.
Briefly provide an overview of any role that has required you to operate as a multisig member:
My experience as a multisig member stems from serving on the Optimism Milestones & Metrics (M&M) Council during Season 7. One of our primary mandates was the secure distribution of grant funds. This involved a multi-step process where, as a council, we first assessed milestone completion. Following internal consensus, I, along with other council members, would then act as signers on our multisig wallet to create, review, and execute the transactions for fund disbursement. We operated with a focus on our internal procedures and were working towards compliance with the Optimism Collective Multisig Policy.
Conflict of Interest Declaration:
As being a part of the team deeply involved in governance and DAO operations, we engage with various projects and DAOs such as Optimism, Safe, Arbitrum, Gnosis, etc. to improve their governance. We pledge to maintain transparency and manage any potential conflicts of interest responsibly, especially in our dealings with Uniswap and its community.
