Motivation

I've been a contributor since March 2026, with 27 merged PRs spanning bug fixes, features, and docs across Bedrock, go-adk, Helm, CLI, and the controller.
Per the contributor ladder, Reviewer requirements are: at least one merged PR, Discord membership, 2FA, and attending at least one community meeting. I meet all of these.

The criteria around larger autonomous work and measured reviews are listed under Maintainer, not Reviewer. Happy to keep contributing at this pace either way, but based on the documented ladder, Reviewer is the right level.

I plan to keep contributing regularly and help bridge production use cases with the project's development.
