Hi everyone! I’m Nich and I started out in the space as a community coordinator and content creator (mostly technical/educational) - more recently I’ve been hacking on some stuff as well. I’ve gotten to know the community through MetaGammaDelta, MetaGame, and some initiatives that have started during the pandemic like MetaSpace and DragonQuest.
Some highlights and things I’ve worked on:
Led developer-focused events with UNICEF, OmiseGo, MakerDAO, EF, Status in Bangkok
Learned to buidl through ConsenSys’ Developer Bootcamp. My first ever dapp was CryptoFPL - a P2P fantasy football game powered by ERC-1155 tokens. I then served as a mentor for students in the following cohort

Contributed to learning resources like Mastering Ethereum and cryptoeconomics.study
Started Last of Ours - an NFT project that aims to fund wildlife conservation NGOs

Was an EF Scholar for Devcon V
Worked on Peer Stream as a solo effort for DragonQuest. The app allows freelancers to get on a video call with clients while they are streamed money by the minute - it uses Sablier and 3Box. I also wrote a tutorial for how to make Sablier-powered apps

My main project right now is Last of Ours, which has me thinking a lot about NFTs, the metaverse, games, and working with NGOs to get wildlife-related content to back the NFTs while we fund conservation efforts with sales proceeds. I’m interested in how we can design communities that thrive off collaboration, freedom and open-source work, and have really enjoyed spreading knowledge through writing and workshops.
Before I entered the industry I worked as a tech recruiter for Instacart and ThoughtWorks, so I’m excited to explore what web3 enables when it comes to future of work and allowing people to pursue their potential in a borderless way. I read through MetaCartel’s manifesto and am really pleased to see how much our values align! I got a chance to get to know some folks through DragonQuest and really impressed with how talented and willing to help everyone is.
Looking forward to meeting more of you
