I wrote much of the original Kubernetes codebase as well as +the overall system design. I helped set up the initial +trajectory and inclusive culture of the Kubernetes community. I was in the bootstrap +committee that wrote the original governance structure for Kubernetes. More recently +I worked to broaden the base of people who can use Kubernetes via efforts like +usability and client libraries for different languages. I also help shape the future of technology +on top of Kubernetes like the Service Mesh Interface (SMI) and more. + +## Where I see myself contributing +I have two unique areas to contribute. The first is a sense of history and continuity having been with the +project from it's very origin through the current day. This history helps me understand the context of the +decisions we are making today and how we have thought about it in the past. + +The other is a sense for the importance of a broad, vibrant and effective community. +Our community is the part of the project that I'm most proud of. It's the most unique +thing that we have built. I will work to preserve the best of what we've built and improve +the parts that can be improved to make us even stronger, more inclusive and more capable. + +## Where I work? + +Microsoft Azure \ No newline at end of file
