**Please summarise your contributions to the Cardano blockchain, ecosystem, and community to date.**\
Since 2020, I have been a pool operator at one of the largest stakepools in terms of delegators: Cardanistas (CARDs), based in Brazil. I have also been hosting weekly lives about Cardano since then, and publishing videos about the project and ecosystem over these 4 years. On the Cardanistas YouTube channel, the largest Portuguese-language channel in space. I also ran Twitter Spaces on Cardano for over a year.

**With regards to the 5 measures of competency, and with regards to your contributions summarised in the previous question, please describe why people should vote for you.**\
I am a developer, pool operator, educator and investor. I have all the necessary technical and communication skills to perform the role with the community of Cardano holders.

**Why is decentralized governance important to you?**\
Cardano is a cryptographic nation, empowering people who are on the margins of the economy and rights through the Cardano blockchain is what I believe in, and what I have been working on for four years in the educational & adoption mission for Portuguese speakers.

**What perspective would you bring to the committee if successful?**\
I intend to be a channel of community unity, to be a collective and aggregating voice within the committee, for healthy governance that brings consensus and progress, including everyone in the debate, especially non-English speakers.
