Hi, I'm Bobby. Welcome to my website. 👋
My goal is to improve human wellbeing with technology. I'm particularly interested in the systems we use to make collective decisions about public goods.
I'm currently general manager at the Optimism Foundation, building governance and coordination mechanisms to scale Ethereum and fund public goods. I previously worked as Head of Product at OP Labs, where we built the core technology that powers the Optimism Collective.Before joining Optimism, I worked at GitHub, where I managed the product teams responsible for Discussions, Sponsors, Profiles, and other tools for open source communities. From 2018-2020 I led product at MetaMask, an open source cryptography tool and popular consumer crypto wallet. Before MetaMask, I worked at uPort, building technical infrastructure for a decentralized identity system. In 2015 & 2016 I was at Hillary for America as product manager for the campaign's online fundraising platforms.
If you're interested in working together or want to talk about building on Optimism, send me an email — I'd love to chat.
