Motivations
I want to help the community have a say in decisions that add value to the blockchain with very little waste. 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.

Support Efforts for Cardano to expand in French Speaking around the world.
Cardano needs to expand in French-speaking countries, especially in Africa, where innovative ideas and technologies lag far behind those in English-speaking countries. The Inkuba Blockchain Center is a pilot project that may resolve the issue.
RealToro: Real Estate Finance via Smart Contracts & Tokenization
RealToro addresses critical inefficiencies and illiquidity within the traditional real estate market, such as complex transaction processes and high barriers to entry for investment and financing. We are developing a comprehensive platform on the Cardano blockchain that allows property owners to tokenize real assets, making them searchable and transactable via smart contracts. Users can initiate decentralized leases and mortgages, fractionalize ownership, raise funding against property value, and participate in smart contract-based insurance pools. Furthermore, the platform introduces tokenized Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) using Aiken. By leveraging Cardano's security, scalability, and low transaction costs, RealToro aims to democratize real estate investment, streamline financing, increase market liquidity, and significantly boost transaction volume and Total Value Locked (TVL) within the Cardano ecosystem.
