Volunteered in developing Gitcoin Data Portal for data accessibility, contributed data to OS-Observer for tracking open-source project impact, and developed curriculum for RegenLearnings.xyz DataBootcamp.

I contributed to three Open-Source projects related to Gitcoin.

Summary

  • Gitcoin Data Portal, where together with David Gasquez we work to make Gitcoin data more accessible.
  • OS-Observer which tracks impact of Open Source projects, including many Gitcoin Grantees. I was mainly feeding them with data.
  • RegenLearnings.xyz DataBootcamp where goal is to turn motivated learners into "impact data scientists". I am helping to design curriculum and write course materials.

Details

Major part of my contributions is volunteer work on Gitcoin Data Portal where I was contributing from November 2023 till February this year.

I did several things there:

Written dbt tests to ensure data consistency, added new datasets, improved CI pipelines, added "Data Catalog" with rudimentary documentation.

Using "Allo Project Profiles" exported from Gitcoin Portal I was able to contribute to OS-Observer which tracks impact of Open Source contributors.

This is relevant to Gitcoin, as OS-Observer not only tracks Allo Grantees but also published a blog post referenced in Gitcoin whitepaper, which was using data provided by Gitcoin Data Portal.

At one point in time, 30% of all Allo projects tracked by OS-Observer directory were introduced there thanks to my contributions.

As the round is ongoing, Citizens may also want to look at my dashboard tracking round applications.
