Introduce yourself:

Governance Beliefs:

  • Active participation from the community is essential for Cardano’s governance.
  • Governance should be transparent and inclusive.
  • The pace of governance should be moderate and responsive to community needs.
  • Continuous improvement should be a priority, with several smaller steps often leading to broader goals.
  • Governance actions and decisions should consider pragmatic views during debates.
  • Always keep decentralization, security, and scalability principles in mind. Understand the goals of governance proposals and how they align with these principles.

Motivation:
I want to help the community have a say in decisions that add value to the blockchain with very little waste. I also want them to see a blockchain that thrives, growing and improving with meaningful and impactful changes that occur in governance.

I’ve been engaged with blockchains off and on for the better part of a decade now. Got my start in blockchain with a TED Talk back in 2014 from Charles Hoskinson who laid out simply how and why the future would be decentralized. A couple years later, I was tasked by a friend to look into Ethereum’s DAO and how it could be leveraged for state-level voting - they wanted to build their first dApp. I’ve since worked for a couple of businesses researching how to leverage blockchains to help improve their financial settlement processes - largely in the complex world of logistics.

I engaged a few different blockchains over the years, including mining for Bitcoin and other tokens. Eventually, I came full circle and found my way to Cardano ~2019, started to officially engage with others in recent years and decided I was all in on this.
