Neville Freeman

Objectives

My main objective for becoming a DREP is to play an important and active role in governing Cardano’s ecosystem. My knowledge and understanding of the ecosystem will greatly benefit the community ensuring that any proposal gets a fair review and is ratified based on what best serves the community. I will enhance the quality of decision-making by researching and understanding what is being put forward while acting as a bridge between the community and Cardano’s on-chain governance.

Motivation

I am familiar with supporting components like cardano-node, cardano-cli, stake pool support and creation, and testnets. I also test and build components such as cardano-db-sync, cardano-graph-ql, and Rosetta. During my years, I helped and supported many projects to integrate with Cardano for the first time. I also supported them during the Shelley and Goguen hard forks. I would like to use this experience to act as a trusted representative for ada holders who may not have the time, expertise, understanding, or desire to vote on governance proposals themselves

Qualifications

I have a BSC in Computer science and over 15 years of experience as a software support engineer. I am passionate about Cardano and have a good understanding of blockchain concepts. I am honored to be your DREP representative for Cardano
