Evidence

In the time since my last evaluation submission, I have been less focused on technical implementation work and more on roadmap and management work at Parity.

The project I have been most involved in is the integration of Solidity-compatible smart contracts on Asset Hub and the migration of Polkadot's primary sub-systems (Staking, Governance, and Balances) from the Relay Chain to Asset Hub.

At this stage, my work has primarily been the project's specification and developing concrete plans for delivery of the project and ensuring that it will go smoothly with all of the stakeholders (parachains, apps and UIs, exchanges, tooling, etc.).

Besides working on the future of Asset Hub, I have also contributed to:

• Review of Fellowship PRs and release coordination (including the release of Polkadot's Coretime chain).
• Launch of the Polkadot People chain and migration of identities there.
• Further diversification of the multi-asset Treasury.

I also stay active in the community, attending events like Decoded and participating on the forum, governance platforms, and group chats.

Voting record

Ranks	Activity thresholds	Agreement thresholds	Member's voting activities	Comments
I	90%	N/A
II	80%	N/A	I have voted on 2 out of 2 referenda in which I was eligible to vote (i.e 100% voting activity). Out of 2 referenda in which members of higher ranks were in complete agreement, I have voted in line with the consensus 2 times (i.e 100% voting agreement).
III	70%	100%
IV	60%	90%
V	50%	80%
VI	40%	70%

Misc

• Question(s):

• Concern(s):

• Comment(s): My last evaluation was for "promotion to rank III". However, since the referendum did not pass within the demotion period, I was demoted to rank I and then promoted back to II. Since I am still within the promotion period at that rank, this evaluation is for retention at rank II.
