About
The story behind Paws Pool.
Why Cardano?
After more than a decade working with data at scale, I've learned to tell apart technology with real foundations from passing trends. Cardano stands out for its commitment to academic rigor, an efficient consensus model, and a clear vision of decentralization.
The infrastructure behind Paws Pool — a combination of bare metal and cloud — reflects the same way I approach architecture at work: looking for the right balance between control, resilience, and efficiency.
This is not an anonymous pool. Behind it is a person with experience, accountability, and a genuine commitment to doing things right for the long term… and a four-legged companion who always reminds me why it's worth it.
Who we do it for
On the night of July 26, 2016, in the middle of a storm, Lucky showed up. A mixed-breed dog with no clear history and an estimated age that today is around 14 years old.
Over time he's faced different health challenges. Today he lives a quieter life — as suits his age and everything he's been through — but he's still here.
We do everything we can to give him the best life possible. Lucky doesn't give the pool its name, but he does inspire it: he's a life companion and a constant reminder of why it's worth doing things right and with responsibility.
The operator
Yovany G.
Paws Pool Operator
I'm a Computer Systems Engineer with a specialization in databases. For over ten years I've worked with data — from processing pipelines to generating value in high-demand environments.
I've focused my career on building solid solutions, evolving from hands-on technical work toward coordinating results-driven initiatives, including analytics platforms and new data-based business lines.
I hold a postgraduate degree in data analytics and certifications in database technologies and business intelligence. My approach has always been to operate with consistency, clarity, and accountability.
Today I apply these principles to Cardano infrastructure operations, prioritizing stability, continuous monitoring, and reliable performance for those who choose to delegate — with a long-term vision.
