Rigel Rozanski is a software engineer with a decade of experience building robust back-end systems and contributing to high-profile open-source blockchain projects like Tendermint and the Cosmos SDK. With a foundation in environmental engineering from the University of Guelph, Rigel bridges domain thinking in hydrology and GIS with modern stacks in cryptography, auto-trading, AR, ML, and BCI processing. Their commits show a focus on core protocol logic, RPC/networking, and cross-chain security updates—demonstrating comfort working deep in consensus, IBC, and staking/distribution mechanics. Equally at home producing audio and hosting community events, Rigel brings a multidisciplinary creativity that surfaces in experimental audio feed processing and real-world tinkering (backyard veggies and renovated shed naps included).

Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:932 commits, 450 PRs, 1764 pushes in 2 years 9 months
Contributions summary:Rigel's commits primarily focus on testing and fixing issues related to subspace queries within the Cosmos SDK, specifically within the iavlstore module. They implemented and tested query features, including subspace queries. The commits also included code changes related to staking and fee distribution.
Interchain Security is an open sourced IBC application which allows cosmos blockchains to lease their proof-of-stake security to one another.
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:43 reviews, 43 commits, 5 PRs in 4 months
Contributions summary:Rigel's commits primarily involve updating the project to use IBC-go v3. They refactor existing code, specifically within the x/ccv directory, to accommodate the changes in the IBC-go library. These updates involve modifying module configurations, keeper interfaces, and test files to ensure compatibility with the new IBC-go version. Additionally, the user works on distribution logic including implementation of consumer redistribution fractions, and sending tokens to a provider chain, which is essential for Interchain Security functionality.
