Kwenta is a derivatives trading platform active on both OP Mainnet and Base. I have also acted as an active governance participant in both DAOs.

Tburm - Overview 3
blockchain developer | data scientist | LLM whisperer - Tburm
My technical background is heavily focused on writing Python and SQL code for data analysis. In joining Kwenta and Synthetix I have also made significant contributions in typescript for frontend development and smart contracts using Solidity. Many of my contributions have been made on open source projects, as you can see from my github history.
Please elaborate on your experience with relevant member (or Lead) requirements:
I have been an active member in governance for both Kwenta and Synthetix, and also have the technical experience of managing complex smart contract deployments that hold $ 100 M+ of TVL. Each of these deployments requires attention to detail as any errors can cause significant losses for users. I have acted as a steward for these protocols to protect user funds, keep private keys secure, and to test and execute these protocol upgrades.
Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Security Council member:
A good Security Council Member has deep technical knowledge of Optimism and the OP Stack, plus understanding of developer needs at the protocol and app levels.
