I was returning to crypto after an early stint as a degen in 2017. I returned to find the tools and possibilities of using crypto for real world change. There was a possibility that we could use crypto for good. Where governments are failing to solve the worlds problems crypto/web3 provided the possibility of human and capital coordination at a global scale. A year later after 15 years in the solar energy industry I went full-time regen.\n\nAccomplishments:\nFounder Spark Ecosystems (also in the OSS round)\n* Built Deresy - a decentralized review tool\n* Built Hyperminter a UI for minting Hypercerts\n* Currently building ImpactScribe a tool for EBF onboarding.\nCo-founder Solar Foundation with my amazing co-founder Coleen\n* Raised over $175,000 in funding for solar in the global south \n* Funded 12 solar projects in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria.\n* Impacted over 8,000 people through our work.\nClimate Coordination Network - Chief Vibes Coordinator\n* Led the decentralization of the climate round out of Gitcoin\n* Worked with the team to run 7 quarterly QF rounds\n* Distributing $2.18M in matching funds and $382k in crowdfunding\n* Strong advocate, advisor and supporter to hundreds of regen projects\n* Onboarded projects into our round\n\nIn the past few years I have been an active member of the movement.
