Motivations
My motivation for becoming a DRep comes from a deep belief in how decentralized and secure systems can improve lives. I’ve seen firsthand how financial empowerment and transparency can transform individuals and communities. The Cardano network represents a pathway toward that future—one where opportunity and innovation are distributed more fairly. As both a professional and a community member, I want to help shape that direction by contributing reasoned, value-driven input on behalf of delegators who share that vision.
Qualifications
I have over a decade of experience in wealth management and financial planning, emphasizing fiduciary responsibility, data-driven analysis, and strategic decision-making. I hold Series 7 and 66 licenses, life and health insurance certifications, a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences, and a Master’s in Business. I’m passionate about emerging technology, innovation, and the responsible adoption of blockchain systems.

CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM CONSTITUTION v2.4
# Three-line summary: 1. Cardano Constitution v2.4 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. This version also incorporates feedback from EMURGO. # Three helpful links 1.

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.
