After four incredible years, this week I announced the difficult decision to move on from my role at @coinbase 💙
Leading engineering and the Platform team at Coinbase has been a highlight of my career and a true honor. The caliber of talent here is extraordinarily high, and working with such exceptional people has been a career-defining experience.
The timing of this transition has been a thoughtful one and while the work to build the most-trusted, easiest to use platform in crypto is never done, I feel a personal sense of accomplishment in all that we have achieved in the last four years, and I’m ready to pass the torch to a new leader.
After a 25-year career with barely more than two weeks off, and never more than a single day between jobs, it’s time to recharge and reset. With my son nearing his high school graduation and my wife and I about to become empty nesters, this is the perfect time for me to dedicate to my family before taking on my next challenge.
🙏 I am deeply grateful to @brian_armstrong and @emiliemc for inviting me to be part of Coinbase’s mission to increase economic freedom in the world. My heartfelt thanks to everyone at Coinbase for making this an amazing place to work and grow. I’ve learned so much, and I’ll miss being in the trenches with the team every day.
🚀 I remain as bullish as ever on crypto and Coinbase’s mission. There is no stronger team capable of driving regulatory clarity for the industry and bringing the first billion users into crypto.
Thank you all – and remember, always be building.
It’s been an honor to work with @manish_cb, head of platform, for the past four years. He’s decided to move on to take some well deserved time to recharge before starting his next chapter, but @coinbase is all the stronger because of his contributions. Thank you, Manish 🙏
@SlackHQ Why not have both? Is that too hard of an engineering challenge? Or is it a product principle? If latter, hope the PMs can listen to this feedback and not be overly stubborn about removing a feature that's not necessarily 1 for 1 with the new window feature.
@SlackHQ@elise00000000 Please bring back the split view 🙏. You can keep this feature too if you must, but pls also retain split view. Also, this new window feature does not seem to work on chromebooks - so it's a material regression for such users.
Excited to share @coinbase’s public support and contributions to EIP-4844, an upcoming improvement to the Ethereum protocol that will scale layer 2 rollups by increasing transaction throughput and decreasing fees 10-100x.
