Q: How do you plan on collaborating with other team members to deliver highly performant and customizable products in staking, node, and data-as-a-service?
A: I plan to communicate closely with all team members to identify any pain points we may have and to gain a deep understanding of the reasons behind our current service implementations. Using this as a starting point, I will work with the team to come up with new ideas and solutions.
Q: What do you like to do outside of work? Any hobbies or interests outside of Web3?
