Meet Watson Lewis-Rodriguez | Core Contributor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Watson Lewis-Rodriguez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Watson, what do you attribute your success to?
The sheer dedication and straight forward commitment found in my leading teams project has been enabling the most immediate success of our DAO. Francisco, our cofounder, has been working tirelessly and consistently on improving and building the community and following on our marketplace, so I would like to take out time to directly appreciate and accredit his affiliation and commitment to this project, and by doing so, he has made immense progress that has enabled our project to thrive within a matter of months.

Alongside Francisco, the desire to lead and grow individuals professionally in the project has only been greatly beneficial from the start, by showing proper leadership as well as commitment to establishing a quality team for a world changing project, we have been able to streamline the applications production and get our initial concept to a functional MVP within 3 weeks.

What should our readers know about your business?

Sure, absolutely! I am working on Zirio DAO with several others, we are developing and designing a Decentralized Delivery Network. What this means is that we are using Web3 technology and infrastructure to bridge and connect the supply chain and logistic world into the crypto sector, by doing so, we are able to enable truly native usage of cryptocurrencies while enabling entrepreneurship globally through a dual sided marketplace in which any participant and courier driver may come together to have their packages delivered and fulfilled within a matter of a few hours. By building a middlemen-free marketplace to reduce delivery times, we have countless applications and use cases, ranging from charity and humanitarian aid, to peer to peer package delivery.

By using the Web3 technology, Zirio DAO is able to put direct accountability towards enterprises, governments, and charities to enable a transparent supply chain network, in which anyone can use the publicly archived ledger of Ethereum to validate and confirm the delivery of packages without the need for trusting an enterprise.

This project has not been easy whatsoever, with several years of learning and design attempts, with previous conflict and misdirection, this project only became easier with the experience and with a fresh focus and perspective. Zirio DAO has been able to overcome several challenges facing previous project failures; from the lack of organization, structure, knowledge and direction, leadership, and skills, and by acknowledging and focusing on the solutions for those specific problems prior to building and structuring Zirio DAO, we have been able to streamline marketing, technical development, documentation and have a pin point focus on the short term and long term results of the project.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would love to give special credit to Rodrigo Palacios in this shoutout series, I know him better as Sbleit, he is a full stack developer focused on React JS, and has time over time proved his enthusiasm and drive towards learning and building a stronger future for himself. Rodrigo is currently residing in Chili, Santiago, where he’s a full time University student pursuing Computer Engineering. He’s currently contributed to both Pigeon DAO, and Zirio DAO, in which he has been promptly learning and advancing his interests to be able to fully contribute to the world of software development.

Rodrigo is the primary shoutout in this article, and I genuinely believe he deserves full spotlight and respect for his time investments and hard work into my project, he’s always had a clear and founding vision for himself in which stood him apart from any previous individual keen in working on a Decentralized Delivery Network – his personal mission has always been to contribute to advancing technologies that help ensure direct advancements and progression to individuals globally, he aims to change the world far beyond what his eyes will truly ever be able to comprehend behind the computer screen. I wish him the best!
