**KP | Founder and developer**

Full-time software developer since 2014, with a focus on crypto since 2019. Prior to Brrito, KP was the Smart Contract Lead at [Redacted Cartel DAO](https://redacted.finance/) ("RCD"), where he had developed the original smart contracts for two of its successful flagship products (Hidden Hand and \*Pirex); both products have securely managed millions in user asset value without hacks.

*\*Pirex began life as an RCD-incubated startup which KP had cofounded and architected (see* [*here*](https://gist.github.com/kphed/057bec2527ef90717bc2e1a94cfe7a24)*).*

KP has also made contributions to various ecosystem projects. Examples:

* [Compound](https://compound.finance): Collaborated with the Compound Labs and OpenZeppelin teams to remedy a misconfigured Comet deployment, and was awarded a bug bounty ([reward proposal](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/compound/proposal/203)).
* [Axiom](https://axiom.xyz): Participated in Axiom's ZK Intensive 2 cohort, and assisted the Axiom team by making contributions to their Governor product (GitHub repo - currently, private).
  * Contributed towards the backend, circuit, and smart contracts for a ZK Intensive 2 group project which used recent DeFi usage data to determine NFT attributes (Github repos: [1](https://github.com/kphed/axiom-project) and [2](https://github.com/koalateectrl/axiom-zk-nfts)).
  * Overhauled Axiom Governor's smart contract architecture to more closely resemble OpenZeppelin 5.0's Governor architecture.
  * Implemented logic for parsing a "side bitmap" to determine Merkle leaf ordering when computing roots onchain. Written in Yul.
* [Celo](https://celo.org/)
  * Proposed an amendment to CIP-10, along with an early PoC, which enabled EOAs to authorize the execution of core Celo actions to smart contract accounts ([merged PR](https://github.com/celo-org/celo-proposals/pull/39)).
  * Operated a validator for the incentivized Baklava testnet, and qualified as a 'Master Validator' (top validators who met a performance and security threshold).
* [Cosmos](https://cosmos.network/)
  * Enabled relayers to configure chains by passing in a chain config URL ([merged PR](https://github.com/cosmos/relayer-archive/pull/64)).
  * Briefly operated a validator for Cosmos Hub 1 and 2.
