## Who

selsta, I have been contributing to monero since around 2018 with over 595 merged commits. Here is a list of my previous work:

- CLI contributions: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aselsta
- GUI contributions: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aselsta

If funded I will provide monthly updates in the CCS comment section.

## Proposal

Work for 30 hours per week over the next 3 months (from November to end of January) at a rate of 45€ / hour. At 120€ / XMR this makes 135 XMR.
