Role and Introduction

Luke is the primary backend developer across the majority of central Labs Platforms under JSKitty, he develops PIVCards, Labs Oracle, our Node Maintenance systems, and assists with architectural work and code-reviews for other parts of Labs - Overall, he's a core member of Labs' infrastructure, keeping everything running smoothly while adding new features and expanding the ecosystem.

Price Note: to continue working full-time at Labs, an adjustment of Luke's proposal has been enacted, with the hope of this being a temporary measure while PIV remains at current prices.

Progress Report

PIVCards: the Catalogue System (Finished!)
Luke's work on the PIVCards Catalogue is complete! With the latest update having been deployed late March, as expected, and with some small follow-up improvements as we've received feedback and reports from users (of which, has been relatively low, which feels good! It was a very smooth, precise, hitch-free launch).

Luke's work allowed for the transformation of PIVCards in to a true Storefront, our latest, and likely final major redesign for PIVCards.

PIVX Promos Redeemer: the universal PIVX Promos sweeping client
Luke has finished the majority of backend work for the Redeemer client; with the basis of the system now ready.

The remainder now lies at integrating a series of coins defined by our partnered Project Zomboid server (Cryptech), their request is simple; we integrate their coins in to a universal PIVX Promos client (called Redeemer and Batcher, nice duo!), then they will integrate PIVX Promos in to their server as the SOLE method of earning all of their in-game coins; bringing additional traffic to PIVX Labs' services, and promulgating the usage of Labs' awesome technology: PIVX Promos.

The aim is to complete the PIVX Promos Redeemer service around Late April to Early May, while the Batcher client (for creating said Promos) is handled in parallel by JSKitty, this workload split should allow us to rapidly accelerate the finishing - and deployment - of our universal PIVX Promos "Dev Kit".

Proposal Plans
These cycles should see a fairly straightforward, "slow-burn" style roadmap, with the primary goals for Luke specifically, being:
- Finishing the PIVX Promos Redeemer client.
- If needed: assisting with the finalisation of the PIVX Promos Batcher client.
- A continuation of work on PIVCards: optimising the Catalogue system further for speedier loading, furthering stability, and writing the scaffolding necessary for PIVCards to handle additional suppliers; with the focus being on converting PIVCards to a fully non-custodial setup powered by merchants already accepting PIVX at first-party.
