Intersect Election

Dear Cardano Community,

I am writing this not as a spectator, but as someone who has lived and breathed this chain since 2022. I have invested my capital, my time, and my career into this ecosystem. I have used the chain, earned from it, and grown alongside it. Like many of you, I joined for a dream—a radical hope that we could actually move the needle for society and bring something genuinely “good” into a world that desperately needs it.

Have we achieved it? The honest answer is both yes and no. Yes, because the power is finally in our hands. No, because we are still staring down a long, grueling road, and we have yet to reach the destination we envisioned. Today, I am sending this letter to garner your support to Perform, Reform, and Transform.

I have contributed extensively at Intersect within various working groups. You may not always see the work on the surface, but my presence in those rooms has moved the needle and forced the improvements we desperately needed. My work and dedication can be attested by Nicolas Cerny, Kenerick, Lorenzo (Product Committee Secretary), Tex (Open Source Committee), Jose, Juan, Phil, Simo (ISC Secretary), and many others who have been in the trenches at Intersect. They have seen my commitment to this ecosystem when the cameras were off.

Today, I request your vote as a candidate for the Membership and Community Committee (MCC) and the Intersect Civics Committee (ICC). I am running because the way we communicate with the community must change. It must become more positive, more transparent, and more effective than what we see today. Let’s be honest: past elected candidates have failed us, leaving behind a trail of disappointment and a total vacuum of clear accountability.

In this ecosystem, elections have become more about popularity than the actual merit of the candidate. I am asking you to break that cycle. Look at my track record, look at my merit, and vote for the work that has already been done—and the work I am prepared to do. Let’s stop choosing the loudest voices and start choosing the ones who actually deliver.

Onwards.
