Validator running on OVHCloud using a dedicated server ( Intel Xeon E2136 [6c/12t], 32GB ram, 4TB HDD ) on a 500 Mbps connection. The data center is located in Quebec, Canada and I plan on opening more nodes across the globe to promote stability.

## About Us

Hello, my name is Patrick, I’ve been a game developer for big companies like Ubisoft and 2K Games for about 15 years. So, I’ve been in touch with DevOps, tools, and automation for a long time.

I found about Harmony while browsing coins on Binance. Afterward, I started to read the Reddit sections and joined the Telegram to find out it is a great community. Also, I took a big look at how the Harmony team communicates via their posts and website. I was amazed by the transparency, especially by the roadmap. I truly believe in the project and I will support it for a long time.

My main goal with this validator is to spread back, the rewards gain for it, to other validators to help with decentralization more.
