Alex BKV

Essentially a libertarian, I believe in freedom, decentralization, and keeping the government away from the people's lives as much as possible. To me, privacy and security are terms paralleled with rights, which every single one of us should be fighting for. I will review and vote on all proposals as a Cardano DRep based on staunch libertarian principles to ensure alignment with the ideals of freedom, decentralization, and empowerment of the individual.

As a Cardano DRep, my ambition will be to stand for freedom, fairness, and innovation. I want to vote for proposals that make Cardano more decentralized, transparent, and secure, all while driving new technologies that would benefit everybody. My belief is that financial control needs to return to the people away from governments and banks, and I feel that Cardano is going in the right direction to make this so.

I have over 20 years of experience in software development and solution architecture, with the last 6 years focused on blockchain technology. I have been an active Cardano Stake Pool Operator (SPO) since 2021, running the BKV pool. My technical skills and hands-on experience in the Cardano ecosystem give me a strong understanding of what makes a valuable proposal and how to support decentralization effectively.
