# Rashmi V Abbigeri

## Intro

Hello, I'm Rashmi V Abbigeri, a full-stack developer and research engineer with experience in the Web3 since 2021 in the DAO and Web3 Grants ecosystem.

I consider myself a generalist as I enjoy doing the work for a purpose rather than specific skill building.

1. **DAO Janitor, ETHGlobal Prague 2025**
    - Project Description: Non-technical proposals in DAOs often get left behind during implementation, leading to delays and inefficiencies in governance. DAO Janny helps clean up your DAO by enabling streamlined and accountable project management.

        The workflow is simple: first, create a pool of qualified members by assigning them roles and domain expertise. Then, with a single click, use the random assignment feature to match members to proposals based on relevant categories.

        DAO Janny acts as a Proposal Task Manager for delegates, helping them coordinate, track, and execute proposal outcomes more efficiently ensuring that no proposal is left behind.
