ADAtainment

Objectives

A Cardano that stays decentralized, spends its treasury with discipline, and explains itself in plain language. I judge every proposal on its own merits, with track record and reputation as evidence, not allegiance. When a vote needs explaining, I usually publish the reasoning as a CIP-100 rationale on-chain and on dreptalk.com. Concise by design.

Motivation

I became a DRep almost by accident: wanted to post on dreptalk.com, and registering was the honest way in. It stuck. Governance tooling gets better when the people who build it also carry a vote, feel the friction, and stand behind public decisions. So this stopped being a DRep of convenience and became a commitment. The votes I cast here are mine alone, not my employer's.

Qualifications

In Cardano since 2017, starting as ADAtainment, for years one of the best-known Cardano education projects. At the Cardano Foundation since 2019, and a member of the Parameter Committee since 2023. More than 25 years of software development, with two software companies along the way. Today I build and run multiple Cardano projects, including dreptalk.com.
