Next Epoch
Cardano leads the blockchain industry through its research-focused approach to development, and it continues to do this every day. However, as it becomes decentralised, active participation in ensuring that this continues to be a priority is of high importance. Though I was once a retail investor, as I continue to learn more about the development of Cardano, it became more obvious that I need to stop being a sideline investor and begin actively participating in the conversation for the future.
Objectives
Cardano leads the blockchain industry through its research-focused approach to development, and it continues to do this every day. However, as it becomes decentralised, active participation in ensuring that this continues to be a priority is of high importance. Though I was once a retail investor, as I continue to learn more about the development of Cardano, it became more obvious that I need to stop being a sideline investor and begin actively participating in the conversation for the future.
Motivations
As we move into the complete decentralisation of Cardano, our future is now heavily reliant on good actors participating in the governance of the blockchain. Understanding this fact, I decided to stop being a sideline investor and use my experience as a former public health practitioner in quality improvement and as a business owner to voice governance actions and development pathway that will benefit the development of this blockchain.
Qualifications
Master of Public Health focusing on Quality Improvement, Business Owner, and a Cardano Enthusiast.

Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams
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.
Safer, Smarter Cardano: From Personal Loss to Community Protections
In my early crypto journey, I fell for a scam that cost me $1,700—a loss born not from ignorance, but misplaced confidence. I believed I could outwit deception by changing the script. I couldn’t. That moment taught me that even intelligent users are vulnerable in a system that offers no safety net. What kept me grounded was Cardano: its mission of research, patience, and principled design. That mission is why I stayed. Yet Cardano’s openness and decentralization, while empowering, also expose users to hidden dangers: cloned tokens, misleading branding, and overhyped projects. This proposal introduces a framework for improving wallet-layer safety and trust, including UI enhancements, opt-in transparency tools, and a community-reviewed case study examining the breakdown of post-ISO trust.
Ironlight: Tokenization Marketplace for Traditional Finance
Ironlight is bringing Tokenization to TradFi. This is done by creating a fully regulated secondary trading venue for tokenized Real World Assets (RWA). The RWAs are private market funds, company equity and real estate. Ironlight is different from most other players in 3 major aspects: 1. Liquidity: Ironlight has secured 4 major institutions to backstop trading. Additionally, RIAs & Wealth Advisors from the major banks are market participants. 2. Sponsor Access Model: The Alternative Trading System (ATS) allows for trading & settling between anyone in the US financial system not just within it’s own network. This allows for dramatically more participants and thus facilitates liquidity. 3. Institutional Grade Technology: Built from the ground up, the technology can process 2 million messages per second at 20 microseconds per transaction. Additionally, built under Reg SCI. The technology was built at the same standard Wall Street expects for Public Market ATS/Exchanges.
