Candidates Full Name

Markus Gufler

Are you currently part of the committee they are applying for?

No

Is there a particular role within the committee that you are interested in, if so which and why? (if applicable)

act as SPO representative, take care of the operational resilience aspects and contribute to the future roadmap based on the historical context. And continuously evaluate which existing established standards and mechanisms we can incorporate into the development of Cardano to make it more accessible and open

What is your experiences within Intersect and Cardano?

I am a community member since 2017, developer of CLIO explorer, RockPi StakePool node, ITN stake pool, Ambassador, developer and service provider of the Topology Updater service, co-founder of CNTools, Testnet and Mainnet stakepool operator, inventor of SPO-poll and the blockperf monitoring project.

What are your pledges and plans should you be elected?

The key is to discuss a visionary roadmap that meets the requirements of a diverse ecosystem. This needs to be published and maintained over time. It should not be too detailed and promising, but also not too vague and general. I also see an essential task in the ongoing and open attitude towards dialogue and information flow on all sides. In general, everything should be handled as transparently as possible (with the exception of critical acute security risks)

Why should the community vote for you?

I have over 25 years of technical experience in IT services and have learnt many areas of the Cardano ecosystem over many years. I believe that I can contribute very well to prioritise the roadmap in the best possible way and influence technical decisions in a very broad context.

Do you have any other Cardano affiliations or possible conflicts of interests, including you as an individual or an enterprise you are associated with?

I work for the Cardano Foundation as a self employed service provider.

Are you currently in receipt of or previously received any Intersect or Cardano funding or grant?

No
