About
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.

Motivations
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.

This action faithfully seats the candidates chosen through Intersect's open, publicly audited 2026 CC election.
Paying DReps is probably the most-argued governance topic right now, and it's scattered across a dozen threads. Let me try to pull it into one place. And it...
If we want DRep compensation to actually work, they ultimately need to live in the protocol itself, exactly like stake pool rewards. Defined parameters,...
Every vote on a governance action can carry a rationale, a short document explaining why you voted the way you did. DRepTalk shows these rationales on every...
I vote yes on the AlphaGrowth withdrawal on its own merits, but no on raising the Net Change Limit to make space for it. A Net Change Limit is meant to be a...

Thank you, @Lourde , this genuinely means a lot. "Giving voice to DRep opinion amongst peers" is exactly one of the reasons why I started with this. You're...
