<font face="Arial" size="2">A bit about me</font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">============</font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">I have been an Active Technical
Contributor
to Keystone and DevStack since the Grizzly release. I have also
co-authored
articles on OpenStack [1] and more information about me can be
found in
a recent OpenStack Open Mic article [2]. In addition, I
lead and give direction to a large team of OpenStack developers
at my company
that contribute to a variety of OpenStack projects including
Keystone,
Heat, Ceilometer, Swift, Cinder, and Internationalization
(i18n).
This role gives me an opportunity to obtain a broad view of what
is happening
in the OpenStack projects as opposed to being focused on a
specific core
project. I also spend a tremendous amount of time traveling to
customers
and business partners to evangelize OpenStack, listening to
their OpenStack
requirements and adoption impediments, and assisting their
development
teams to become contributors to OpenStack. I am incredibly
passionate
about making sure OpenStack is highly consumable for our users
and
that the OpenStack ecosystem grows and thrives.</font>

<font face="Arial" size="2">As a technical team lead, developer,
and
evangelist for OpenStack, I am deeply committed to OpenStack
being
incredibly valuable and consumable for all our users and also
to making
sure the OpenStack ecosystem grows and thrives. I hear from
customers
all the time on how OpenStack can be improved such that it
becomes easier
to install, more consumable and serviceable, more easily
integrated into
enterprise customer environments, and the need for being able
to
certify interoperability and scalability of OpenStack
environments. I
would be honored to have an opportunity to serve as a member
of the TC
and to help drive the the technical direction of the OpenStack
project
based on all the outstanding feedback I receive from
customers, business
partners, analysts, and also from all the knowledge I have
gained by both
being a personal contributor to OpenStack as well as leading a
large development
team of strong and core contributors that work across several
of OpenStack's
core projects.</font>
