April 2024 work with tech tree challenges, and extra work related to Balancer Grant as per Dev Rel as a Service with BUIDL GUIDL (balancer repo still private) & tech tree tutorial #1: https://github.com/BuidlGuidl/eth-tech-tree-challenges/tree/multisend and tutorial #2 (PR waiting for final review): https://github.com/BuidlGuidl/eth-tech-tree-challenges/pull/35
Completed Balancer Grant with SE-2. Details of it to be released once BalancerV3 to be public. Completed `Multisend` tech tree educational challenge (including auto-grading foundry tests) & working on educational `Rebasing` tutorial and foundry tests for tech tree. Lining up work with LUKSO & Balancer for next grants with SE-2 "Dev Rel as a Service." Looking at other projects to continue Dev Rel as a Service with going forward with Austin & Matt. / https://github.com/BuidlGuidl/eth-tech-tree-challenges/pull/31 & https://github.com/BuidlGuidl/eth-tech-tree-challenges/pull/35
Continued work on Balancer Grant using SE-2 for internal tooling and tutorials for Balancer. Finishing it off this round or next one (for now) - details coming once out of stealth mode with Balancer. Also coordinating more possibilities of further Dev Rel as a Service work with LUKSO.

Coordinating DeFi Challenges w/ small group of devs & coordinating Axelar BUIDL GUIDL challenge w/ their dev rel (see repo in bio for former, latter will likely PRed to SRE challenges or in a standalone repo w/ Axelar).
- Continued work on Sommelier DeFi challenge, coordinating scaffoldBalancer work w/ group & review sc work, and coordinating tech tree for DeFi with other devs.
Began DeFi-Challenge #2 on ERC4626 Vaults and Adaptors with Sommelier and Aura Protocols. Worked through rough implementation and README write-up for challenge, but need to troubleshoot the tutorial now (walk thru challenge myself with README & resolve issues, troubleshoot tests and make sure that tests work on solution, clean up any lingering TODOs). Front end also needs development. Also helped coordinate Balancer Grant for custom pool tooling with scaffoldETH v2. Presented DeFi-Challenges and need for help at BTF. / Link to be posted on BUILDs soon, just cooridnating with team contributing to Sommelier protocol
began scaffold-eth-defi-challenges repo && 90% complete backend challenge portion of yearn simple strategy for students, coordinating next tutorial w/ more complex strategy && coordinating w/ ApeWorX && solidoracle && Austin && others for further development of DeFi challenges (sub-branch) / LINK: https://github.com/scaffold-eth/Scaffold-ETH-DeFi-Challenges/tree/challenge-1-simple-yearn-strategy
Development of DeFi Sub Branch Tutorials helping devs get from beginner to actual experience with open-source protocols / Initialize & continual development of yearn strategies (thru making my own w/ actual yearn strategists, see README in link) && DeFi sub-branch concepts, && establishing inroads to lay down Balancer tutorial work / https://github.com/umphams/BUIDL-GUIDL-DeFi-Sub-Branch
