Why Is David Seetapun Influential?

According to Wikipedia, David Seetapun is an English logician and former investment banker. Academic Work During the fall of 1990, David Seetapun was said to have "used a very interesting 0′′′- priority argument to prove that every r.e. degree 0 < a < 0′ is locally noncappable, namely  0 < a < 0′  a < c  b < c [a∩b = 0 => b = 0]". Seetapun received a PhD in logic from Cambridge in 1991, the topic was "Contributions to recursion theory". He went on to a post-doctoral position at Berkeley where in 1995 he published an influential article with his post-doctoral adviser Theodore Slaman applying reverse mathematics to Ramsey's theorem. He also proposed the so called "Seetapun Enigma", a mathematical puzzle that was not solved until 2010 by Chinese undergraduate student Liu Lu.
