+
+## What I have done
+
+  - Start contributing more to Kubernetes repositories around 2018, and before that, it was more inside the companies I used to work.
+  - Today I contribute more for SIG-Release, acting as a branch manager and Techinical Lead to build and release Kubernetes to the wild.
+  - Contribute to all things related to Cluster API project and focus my contribution on GCP and DigitalOcean.
+  - Help to onboard new branch managers in the SIG-Release and any other member who has any questions.
+  - Served in the K8s Code of Conduct Committee
+  - Help in the mailing list administration and help to build tools to support the organization, like the moderator words for slack and other small tools.
+
+## What I'll do
+
+  - I will try to get onboard contributors underrepresented by making the process more inclusive and having more formal mentorship programs and knowledge transfer.
+  - I will try to keep the community safe and welcoming.
+  - I will try to incentivize the attention to understaffed work, like documentation
+  - Have fun with the steering committee, and try to spread the joy across all sigs.
