In my spare time, I'm working on creating a de-centralized agricultural future. Necessarily, this starts with a hardware solution, some of which is open source, and some of which will be produced as a consumer product. My very low cost hardware solution is now 5 years in the making, and the current version running in my garage is the 4th iteration. My hardware solution is in pursuit of both low pressure nutrient film techniques and higher pressure pneumatic aeroponic techniques. In this new and exciting high tech future, families can specialize and securely contract for and trade their fresh commodities within their local communities or broader distributors using #deag apps, which can arrange for either pickup or a manual or autonomous delivery. Fun fact: A family can grow most of the fresh food they need to live within a 10' cube, and live a much richer and healthier culinary life in doing so than most do today!

Motivations

Traditional financial and governmental systems are rigged in favor of old money. I favor a transparent decentralized future that empowers individuals to participate directly in their governance, and enables individuals to build updated societal foundations and functionality on a well thought out operating system. I think that Cardano provides that OS.

Qualifications

Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Aerospace Engineering, with a Specialization in Astrodynamics and Satellite Navigation Full Stack and Embedded Systems Software Developer Large Scale Systems Integration and Operations Engineer

audiovisual and informative digital marketing strategy

Pending
ABSTAIN

The idea is to create at least 2 long videos per month talking about different topics about Cardano, showing its potential and technology, what is done, what is being done and what will come soon to Cardano, all from a critical, true and real approach without selling smoke, which would undoubtedly generate confidence and impact in the viewer, planting the seed of knowledge of Cardano which can undoubtedly attract more people to use the Cardano blockchain and even build on it, or participate in areas such as governance or other things, since Cardano today has many things to show that not everyone knows about. On the other hand, apart from recording two long videos per month for six months, whose duration must be at least 4 minutes or more, a short video of any duration will also be extracted from each of these long videos, I must make it clear that a minimum of one short video and a maximum of 3 must be extracted for each long video, and these will be extracted from the best fragments of each long video, this is done because with current new trends it is recognized that short videos are aimed at an audience more likely to consume this type of content, also because of its virality, so in this sense we also adapt this marketing strategy to the new trends on these platforms. To be more clear, the long videos will be exclusive to my YouTube channel and will be shared on my X account and other associated X accounts to generate more views, and on Telegram in the different Spanish and English speaking Cardano communities since these videos will not only be in Spanish, they will also be dubbed and subtitled in English, as for the short videos, these will also be shared on my YouTube channel, but also on my TikTok account, as well as on the different X accounts that I mentioned above, they will also be shared on Telegram and will also be in Spanish and English, this will guarantee more visibility of these videos and therefore of Cardano.

Info Action: Build on Cardano. Build for the World — Vision 2030

Pending
ABSTAIN

This info action presents a strategic vision for Cardano 2030: to transform Cardano into the world’s most builder-friendly blockchain, enabling enterprises, developers, and communities to build globally impactful businesses. It introduces the concept of a Cardano Ease of Building Index (CEBI), a unified builder starter pack, and outcome-linked incentives to promote adoption and sustainability. The core principle is simple: when you build on Cardano, you build for the world.

Stablecoin DeFi Liquidity Budget

Pending
ABSTAIN

The primary goal of this budget proposal is to increase liquidity on Cardano, specifically by supporting stablecoin liquidity. The secondary goal is to generate revenue for the treasury. 50,000,000 ADA is requested to create a fund composed of ADA and fiat backed stablecoins to support the Cardano decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The majority of the funds (99%) in this budget will be disbursed to DeFi protocols including decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and lending protocols to help seed liquidity on Cardano. Funds must only contain ADA, fiat backed stablecoins, and liquidity tokens from deployment into DeFi protocols. The funds will be managed from a smart contract administered by a 9 person interim committee composed of publicly identified individuals with oversight from a newly established treasury DAO (tDAO), where membership in the treasury DAO includes decentralized representatives (dReps). After 1 year, the tDAO will be required to elect a new committee or else no actions can be taken. The tDAO has the oversight abilities to impeach, elect, and ultimately shut down the fund and return funds to the treasury. In addition to the fund, this proposal will establish a number of public goods including a legal framework for future community involved proposals like this as well as an open source governance contract with executive and oversight functionality.
