Farewell to Yaz Khoury

Yaz

We bid a fond farewell to Yaz Khoury, who served as Director of Developer Relations at ETC Cooperative from October 2018. He wore many hats, both within the ETC Cooperative and in the broader ETC community.

Read more about Yaz's work.

Some 2020 highlights included the migration of all of the ETC Cooperative's infrastucture to Hyperledger Besu, serving as a Vice-Chair of the EEA Testnet Working Group, presenting webinars on Ethereum for the Hyperledger community, working with Connext to set up the first State Channels hub for ETC and successfully migrating the ETC BlockScout instances onto ETC Cooperative infrastructure.

Yaz was also an ECIP editor, an important steward for the ETC protocol and an active and valued member of the ETC community. He will be sorely missed at the ETC Cooperative. We wish him the very best for the future.
