Beliefs I’m running as a DRep because Cardano’s governance shouldn’t be a techie mess or a suit’s playground. I’m an analytical troubleshooter—fixing headaches, not coding dreams. I’ll keep votes clear as a cracked case, open to all ADA holders, aimed at the long haul, and owned up to like a botched fix. Goals Scalability: Push Hydra so Cardano runs smooth, not like a clogged line. Sustainability: Stretch resources—like telling pools to quit guzzling—outlasting my last DIY flop. Security: Fund locks tighter than my toolbox—no gaps for trouble. Community: Make governance easy as unjamming a printer, with tools and cash for ideas. Innovation: Back wild fixes to keep Cardano sharp, not stale. Why Me? No tech bro hype here—just a problem-solver with a grin. I’ll tackle Cardano’s knots with smarts and sass—delegate to me, and we’ll sort it, less pain than a Monday crash!

Motivations

Why I Want to Be a DRep I want to be a DRep because I’m hooked on fixing messes—Cardano’s governance is just another puzzle begging for a sharp eye. I’m no tech guru, but I thrive on breaking down chaos into solutions. It’s a chance to steer this blockchain right, not let it flop like a bad repair job. Plus, I’d rather wrestle governance than my last stubborn bolt. Experiences I Bring Professionally, I’m an analytical troubleshooter—years spent diagnosing breakdowns, from jammed systems to cranky machines. I’ve got a knack for spotting weak spots before they blow up and patching them with no fluff. Personally, I’m the guy who overanalyzes everything—ask my wife about our “optimal grocery route” debates. That mix of grit and overthinking means I’ll tackle Cardano’s headaches with logic, a smirk, and a steady hand—ready to make it hum, not stall.

Qualifications

Qualifications for DRep Role Advanced Problem-Solving: Decades resolving intricate electrical system failures—addressing critical issues that defied initial analysis. I’ll apply this rigor to Cardano’s governance challenges. Analytical Precision: Skilled at diagnosing faults in complex electrical networks, preventing corporate disruptions. I’ll evaluate governance proposals with clarity and focus. Risk Mitigation: Experienced in identifying potential failures in high-stakes electrical systems before escalation—ensuring operational stability. I’ll assess Cardano proposals for resilience. Effective Communication: Adept at conveying technical solutions to non-expert stakeholders—ensuring understanding. I’ll present voting rationales transparently to ADA holders. Determination: Proven ability to resolve persistent electrical issues through sustained effort—delivering results. I’ll approach Cardano’s governance with unwavering commitment.

Parameter change proposal - Lower minPoolCost to 0

Pending
ABSTAIN

(at the time of writing the gov.tools site did not have a Parameter Change dropdown value on Propose a Governance Action page implemented yet, although I hear it is in the works) This proposal is to change the parameter "minimum fixed rewards cut for pools (minPoolCost)" value from it's current value of 170 Ada to 0 Ada. This is to allow stake pool operators to set their fee structure as they see fit - without always forcibly taking a chunk out of pool rewards, the protocol-level action which results in continually growing gap (as the per-block reward continues to reduce over time, by staking design) in maximum ROI that a given small pool can offer compared to a big pool with similar fee structure in place.

Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams

Pending
ABSTAIN

This proposal establishes a Governance Workstream Consortium which establishes decentralized execution framework, ROM Multisig Model, to support the delivery of constitutional dept workstreams in Cardano. Its core aim is to ensure that budgeted governance tasks are completed verifiably, transparently, and without relying on a single administrator.
