Introduction to liveraven-subquery.eth
LiveRaveN currently has 17 years of experience in quality assurance for IT products — primarily embedded software at a world-renowned company — and he has spent his career ensuring systems run flawlessly.
Nearly three years ago, he ventured into crypto, drawn by a deep interest in project testing and a desire to contribute to building stronger, more resilient networks.
Why did you choose to become a Node Operator?
At the beginning when he first started running nodes across various projects, LiveRaveN discovered that being a node operator isn’t just a technical role — it’s a way to shape the future of decentralised infrastructure while continuously learning and growing.
Now, he’s bringing this expertise to SubQuery, helping to strengthen Web3 one block at a time.
Joining the SubQuery Network
LiveRaveN first came across SubQuery by chance while browsing the internet. Intrigued, he joined the early testnets and quickly found the experience technically fascinating. Working with a project of this scale and innovation sparked his interest, setting him on a path to deeper involvement in the ecosystem.
A Day in the Life
A typical day for LiveRaveN depends on the state of the network. If everything is running smoothly — which is usually the case — he will focus on fine-tuning and optimising his service, always looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability.
However, when issues arise, he quickly shifts gears, troubleshooting and ensuring his node remains stable and secure. It’s a balance of proactive monitoring and continuous improvement, driven by a passion for maintaining high-performance infrastructure.
