+
+## What I have done
+
+I've contributed to Kubernetes in a technical capacity since 2014.
+In the past seven years, I've contributed code to most areas in kubernetes/kubernetes.
+
+Most of my focus has been in api-machinery (CRDs, the kube-apiserver), 
+client/controller patterns (client-go), auth (authorization in particular).
+If there was a theme to my work, I would say that it was about enabling an ecosystem to grow
+on top of our project.  To that end, I have worked with many people with varying
+roles across most of the sigs and inside and outside the Kubernetes project.  I have helped
+them learn to use Kubernetes and I have listened to them so that I could learn what
+capabilities we need to develop.
+
+I take pride in creating solid foundations that others can build on top of with confidence.
+
+## What I'll do
+
+I will work to maintain a stable, trustworthy, and transparent governance structure.
+I think it is important to ensure a professional working environment.
+
+I will evaluate decisions for their impact
+- to our users' confidence in the Kubernetes project
+- to our contributors' ability to work on the technology in this project
+- to our community's long term health
