+
+## What I have done
+
+I have been involved with the Kubernetes project since 2018. Joined as a shadow in the SIG Release shadow program. I later joined the Kubernetes Infrastructure SIG and became SIG Chair.
+
+ - Boostrap registry.k8s.io as the new distribution platform for our container images
+ - Establish a partnership with Fastly to ensure our binaries to distributed to a CDN network.
+ - Driving the strategy on how to extend our infrastructure footprint to AWS
+ - Member of the past release teams (1.12, 1.13, 1.14)
+ - Former Github Admin for all organizations of the projects
+
+## What I'll do
+
+As a member of the community, I am committed to pushing the project's progress while preserving the community's ideals. My primary goal is to keep Kubernetes at the cutting edge of innovation while retaining a user-centric approach. I will work relentlessly to encourage collaboration among all stakeholders, empowering developers, operators, and end users alike.
+
+I am passionate about making Kubernetes more accessible to newcomers, streamlining the onboarding process. Additionally, I will champion initiatives that prioritize sustainability and efficiency, ensuring Kubernetes remains a sustainable choice for organizations of all sizes.
+
+I will advocate for strategic decisions that align with both the project's technical excellence and its broader impact on the cloud-native ecosystem. Through transparent communication, active engagement with the community, and a commitment to inclusivity, I aim to drive Kubernetes forward as a powerful and versatile platform that meets the evolving needs of the industry.
+
+In collaboration with my fellow committee members, I will work to nurture a culture of diversity, and collaboration, ensuring that Kubernetes continues to thrive as an open-source project.
