Objectives
As a dRep, my objective is to enhance transparency and clarity in Cardano's decision-making processes by leveraging my background as a seasoned financial professional.
Motivations
My motivation for becoming a dRep stems from a long-standing commitment to Cardano’s vision and values. Having actively contributed to the ecosystem since the early days, I have witnessed first-hand the importance of strong, principled governance. As a former SPO and financial professional, I bring both operational experience and a strategic perspective to the table. I believe Cardano’s governance process should be grounded in clarity, transparency, and informed participation.
Qualifications
I am a former Cardano stake pool operator and a financial professional with over 15 years of experience, offering a unique perspective that bridges both the technical and economic dimensions of network governance. This dual expertise is essential for making well-informed, balanced decisions that support Cardano’s long-term success.

Test title
Test Abstract
High-performance Rust Ogmios Client
We propose developing a high-performance Rust client library for Ogmios, enabling fast, safe, and efficient communication with the Cardano node. While a TypeScript client currently exists, there's a growing demand for Rust-based infrastructure, especially for backend applications requiring low latency, high throughput, and robust memory safety. The library will support all four Ogmios mini-protocols (chain sync, ledger queries, transaction submission, and mempool monitoring). It will be optimized using advanced techniques such as arena allocation, Struct-of-Arrays optimizations, and SIMD parsing, where appropriate. A complete example application and comprehensive test suite (unit, end-to-end, and live network) will ensure usability and reliability. This project lowers the barrier for Rust developers building on Cardano, improves performance for critical applications (e.g., trading bots, DEXes, mempool tools), and better integrates with Cardano's existing Rust-based serialization ecosystem.
CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM CONSTITUTION v2.3
# Three-line summary: 1. Cardano Constitution v2.3 removes non-binding expectations, the Budget Info Action mechanism, and mandatory CC conduct rules, streamlining governance. 2. It adds clear definitions, enforces immutability of proposal documents, and applies treasury audit/accountability safeguards to all withdrawals. 3. Community review of v2.0 had 86.23% DRep participation, and v2.3 incorporates feedback and improvements, addressing prior concerns to reinforce legitimacy and broad input. # Three helpful links 1.
