+## SIGS
+
+- SIG Testing technical lead
+- SIG Instrumentation / Structured Logging WG lead
+- SIG Storage member
+- SIG Node contributor
+- SIG Scheduling contributor
+
+## What I have done
+
+I have been involved with Kubernetes since 2018. I’ve worked on a variety of
+topics covering several different SIGs. Enhancements that I have designed and
+implemented include:
+
+- Generic Ephemeral Volumes (GA)
+- Storage Capacity Tracking (GA)
+- Contextual Logging (alpha)
+- Dynamic Resource Allocation (alpha)
+
+As tech lead in SIG Testing for the E2E framework and working group lead for
+structured logging I am responsible for changes that affect all contributors of
+Kubernetes. 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.
