I’ve worked on a variety of +topics covering several different SIGs.

I care about code quality and some of you might remember my +initiative to enable [stricter pre-merge +linting](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/dev/c/myGiml72IbM/m/QdO5bgQiAQAJ) +which is now active for all new PRs. + +I am working with the maintainers of components that Kubernetes depends on +(Ginkgo/Gomega, golangci-lint, forbidigo, and last but not least Go itself) to +ensure that they meet the needs of Kubernetes. + +## What I'll do + +The conversion of logging to contextual, structured logging is an area where I +have helped various new developers with their first contributions to +Kubernetes. Finding and retaining new contributors is an on-going challenge. I +intend to continue doing that also as member of the steering committee. + +Kubernetes has been wildly successful. It is tempting to rest on those laurels +and focus only on stabilizing the existing APIs. But that would ignore all the +new ideas about how Kubernetes could also be used, lead to stagnation and push +away the new developers who want to try out their ideas. Therefore I believe +that Kubernetes needs to continue to evolve (of course with all the required +care to not break existing users) and I hope to support that. + +## Resources About Me + +- Presentations and some of the more important blog posts: + - 2019: [KubeCon China: E2E Testing: Real Developers Don't Test...
