ok last question.

what’s one act of kindness you’ve received that stands out in your memory?

1/

when I was planning to leave Coinbase in early 2021 to go work on my own thing after 5 years of leading engineering for our consumer products, my boss and then head of engineering, Manish Gupta, asked me to take time off before I made a decision. 

he worked hard with HR to give me flexibility as I transitioned.

I took 3 months fully off, then came back in a part time role, not really know what to expect. that was the time I dug in and realized the potential impact I could have if I stayed at Coinbase and tried to bring us onchain. that led to base. 

without him fighting to make that space for me, I wouldn't be here.
