  Hello, Alejandro here, one of the proposed candidates.

  First of all, thank you so much for even the consideration. It is very exciting to be able to introduce myself to the fellowship as a candidate.

  I have written a few lines on who am I and what have I been contributing to Polkadot. Please find those here.

  Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this.

  Cheers!

• Johan: Sr. embedded dev - Virto team (153FF...)

  Hello everyone,

  Johan here, excited to be considered as a candidate for the Polkadot Fellowship.

  I'm an electronic engineer with a deep passion for embedded software development. My journey has led me to become proficient in embedded systems, Rust application development, CI/CD for embedded systems, and creating embedded wallets. I have experience with WASM/WASI and also expertise in using eHSM for embedded cryptography.
  My team and I are eager to bring our innovative ideas to the Polkadot ecosystem, especially our vision of merging the Polkadot blockchain with electronics.

  Thank you for this opportunity. We're looking forward to the possibility of contributing significantly to the Polkadot project.

  Stay decentralized! Farewell.
