ARandomCardanoDrep
I will support proposals that strengthen Cardano’s foundational infrastructure—network scalability, decentralization, tooling, core research—provided they come from teams with proven delivery records. Treasury funding must be tied to measurable impact. I assess cost–benefit using global earth median benchmarks—not inflated local norms—especially for salaries and services. Cardano is a worldwide project and it should be considered as such. I will generally favor smaller, focused proposals over large-budget requests, unless there is a compelling and well-substantiated rationale for the scale. I commit to a hard ceiling: I will not support any funding round where the cumulative approved treasury spend exceeds 200M ADA. Fiscal discipline is not optional; it’s a feature.

I will support proposals that strengthen Cardano’s foundational infrastructure—network scalability, decentralization, tooling, core research—provided they come from teams with proven delivery records.

Motivations
Cardano governance must be a diversified, not a pyramid. The current system risks centralization via popularity, visibility, or backdoor coordination. We need thousands of independent DReps—not just a handful of loud voices or interconnected actor that pretend to be independent. I’m stepping up as one node in that network of DRep. I do not build a brand, I am here to defend the principle of democratic decentralization.
Qualifications
PhD in astrophysics, specialized in statistical inference and asteroseismology. Over 14 years of experience in model evaluation, signal extraction under uncertainty, and peer-reviewed research. Skilled in Bayesian methods, MCMC (incl. parallel tempering, MAP), and optimization under noisy constraints—directly applicable to proposal evaluation and governance modeling. Currently lead ML and diagnostic systems in Kubernetes-based environments. I design cost-aware, scalable pipelines for real-time analytics and anomaly detection—both LLM-based (code) and metric-based (CNN, LSTM, stats). Familiar with decentralized architectures, telemetry systems (Prometheus/Grafana), and the operational demands of high-availability infrastructure.

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.
