My role in the team is as an independent contractor writing technical proposals for tenders.
Two of the proposals that I have written were for KfW (German Development Bank) projects on using blockchain technology as a management tool both in the context of deforestation in the Amazon and marine conservation in the Caribbean (which ultimately won the tender).
Additionally, I have written a proposal for a Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) project on the Govstack, regarding assisting countries to build a shared Digital Government Services Platform.
