## Application Form

### Domain Team Introduction

The Risk Domain team has been working for the betterment of the Maker Protocol, starting with Single-Collateral Dai and continuing to this day with Multi-Collateral Dai.

### Motivation

Being part of the Maker Community and Governance, I truly believe MakerDAO will change the world. Having worked to build the Real World Asset (RWA) section of the Risk team, I want to push my contribution to the project to the next level.

My main focus going forward would be:
- Maximize Protocol self-sustainability and robustness
- Scale Real World Assets: 
  - Define a model to assess/monitor RWA risks
  - Onboard additional regular contributors through mentoring and tasks
- Solvency framework for MakerDAO (Balance sheet risk optimization)
- Strategic Reserves
- Assist others Risk Facilitators on Risk duties
