Welcome 
He will be helping out testing new releases and will be responsible for coordinating testers, gathering issue reports and provide statistics and numbers during heavy forking. This will be extremely valuable to help tracking down the heavy bugs and will take some stress out of the developers, allowing us to focus on the code. He will become a part of the dev team with this role and will be covered by the regular developer payment.
As of right now his current task to track down and document the blocks which are causing our test nodes to either stop syncing or derail onto forks.
