After participating in several voting programs and be involved for more than two years in the Celo Governance, and in an attempt to improve Celo Governance efficiency and transparency, I’m creating a personal Delegate Thread.
Following @LuukDAO example I will update this Thread with a breakdown of each of my Celo Governance votes.

Reasons for wanting to be a Celo delegate
As a founder, community builder, and governance contributor, my mission is to propel the growth of the Celo ecosystem and ensure a seamless migration to L2, thereby contributing significantly to the broader Ethereum Ecosystem.
On a personal level, I am deeply committed to amplifying the voices of the underrepresented, tirelessly pursuing financial inclusion for all, and advocating for local currencies as a potent tool for onboarding new participants. I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of Regenerative Finance (ReFi) for sustainable ecosystem growth, alongside a commitment to the protection and conservation of our planet. Together, let’s shape a more inclusive and sustainable digital future.
Past Contributions to Celo
I have made substantial contributions to the Celo community, including translating all Celo Documentation into Spanish through Crowdin and serving as a Moderator in the Celo Discord for almost two years. As a CGP Editor (Past version of Celo Guardians) for over a year, I’ve actively participated in discussions and decision-making processes. I’ve hosted some Celo Meetups in Medellin & Colombia helping the Celo Adoption.
I played a pivotal role in submitting the LatamDAO proposal on GitHub and OnChain and various other proposals, showcasing my proficiency with the CeloCLI and dedication to ensuring proposals are submitted and voted upon. Notable proposals include:
- Mentors Collective
- ReFiDAO x Celo
- Proposal for mobile first community in celo ecosystem and telecom
- Celo Korea DAO
- Celo Europe DAO
Beyond that, I founded GDG on top of Celo, founded and led ReFiMedellin, and contribute actively to ReFi Colombia and ReFiLatam, encouraging widespread engagement in the ReFi Ecosystem. I have also supported the expansion of ImpactMarket onboarding and supporting some communities through the donation platform.
