I've been ooo and we had an offsite. Sorry for the delay. But we are back to highlight another Optimist. This time AI has decided we will talk about Zak. 

Zak is a developer support engineer on the devrel team at OP Labs. Prior, he spent 3+ years split between Chainlink and Protocol Labs doing devrel.

I've been lucky enough to hang with him twice irl and he's kind and thoughtful. Most recently, he sat in the front row of a Q&A with the founders because he wanted to be a "good student" lol. 

Zak is cool 😎 be like Zak.

Zak knows a lot about blockchain infra and a lot about processes. Since joining, he's implemented internal impact analyses and worked closely with external developers to ensure they have what they need to manage upgrades and build on the OP stack efficiently.
