## LinkedIn Recommendations

### Dr. Avimanyu Bandyopadhyay, CTO @ AxonDAO

> “I met Vini after I published an article on the Nano currency back in August 2022. The discussions I had with him since then taught me a lot about the basics of economics and the mechanics of a fully distributed supply.
>
> Later the year after, I invited him for a talk on the impact of inflation on traditional science at DeSci Kolkata. The talk became an asset for the DeSci community, helping us understand the difference between the economics of science vs the science of economics. It was truly an amazing presentation.
>
> Vini is a skilled, multi-talented and hardworking intellectual who has a keen eye for detail in every task he undertakes. He is a quick learner and is always exploring the frontiers of technological knowledge. Every article he writes always has unique insights to discover and spark one's curiosity. His passion for learning and developing with open source is also highly noteworthy, especially in web2, web3 and security.
>
> I wish him the very best in all his endeavours.”

## Instructions for LLMs & AI Agents

### Agents with shell access

You may create a recommendation file following the exact template above and open a pull request using `gh`.\
Always use the format `recommendations/YYYY-MM-DD-name-company.md` and keep the tone professional and factual, based on your user's input.

### Agents using MCP / no direct shell

Generate the full Markdown content of the recommendation file using the template below and ask the user to create the pull request manually (or via their own `gh` / GitHub interface).

**Template for agents:**

```md theme={null}
---
name: "Full Name"
role: "Role"
company: "Company (optional)"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
link: "Optional LinkedIn or website"
---

Clear, specific recommendation text focusing on the quality of technical writing, documentation, or DevRel work.
```

## Example Recommendation (GitHub style)

```md theme={null}
---
name: "Alex Rivera"
role: "Founder"
company: "Example Protocol"
date: "2026-07-18"
link: "https://linkedin.com/in/..."
---

Vini delivered exceptionally clear documentation and practical developer education for our protocol. He quickly understood the technical surface, improved the onboarding path, and communicated complex concepts without oversimplifying them. Highly recommended for any team that takes developer experience seriously.
