I have been involved with the LFN OVP badge development since its inception as part of the OPNFV project.  I have served as the CVC Chair for the past two years, as we have grown the programs for the NFVI only badge to the both the NFVI and VNF badges.  In the coming year, CVC will need to oversee the inclusion of CNTT requirements in the badging programs, while accounting for the future Cloud Native world, with well organized leadership to bring those two worlds together as a holistic set of badges through the LFN OVP programs.

I am an architect and now mainly responsible for the management and development of automated test platforms at China Mobile Research Institute.

I have more than 6 years experience in software design and development in telecom industry and 5 years experience in open source community project development and management, focusing mainly on NFV domain management and orchestration, VNF testing & certifications. I deeply participated in the design and development of OVP Tosca VNF validation in 2019 and demoed the VNF compliance and validation testing in ONS NA & EU 2019 conferences. I am also ONAP VF-C PTL for six releases and is responsible for the management of ONAP OpenLab subcommittee. From last year, I also involved in CNTT RC and is co-leading CNTT RC VNF work streams.

I look forward to working with everyone in the open community and would do my best to contribute to overall CVC/OVP success.

Thanks for your consideration.

Since 2018 Q4, I have been collaborating  with CVC team and contributed in various part of OVP includes OVP badging requirements, OVP VNF certification framework, test case requirements, test tool implementation, integration of ONAP for VNF badging, NFVI and VNF test tool alignment with OVP portal, integration of Doveatil. Also co-leaded CNTT reference certification (RC) work stream and authored VNF testing framework, test case requirements chapters. And in ONAP, I have established VNF Test Platform (VTP) and leveraged it in OVP for VNF compliance and validation testing by using ONAP as MANO along with required Vendors/Community OpenStack. Also I have collaborated with networking industry includes 3+ operators 2+ vendors and 1+ partners & OVP lab providers and demonstrated the OVP values in 3+ ONS conferences & DDF events, which help to create awareness and importance of OVP.

Currently I am working as Lead Architect in Huawei and PTL for 3 community projects includes OPNFV Dovetail, ONAP VNFSDK/VTP and ONAP CLI projects. Also participating in CNF support and VNF/CNF Test automation support in ONAP G release, which would help in OVP 2.0 for CNF badging. Earlier I was working as committer in OpenStack HEAT (Cloud Orchestrator) and Tacker(ETSI NFV Orchestrator) projects. And in total, I am having 15+ years of domain experience in management and orchestration (MANO) of ICT industries includes Datacenter, virtualization, Cloud, container, NFV and SDN.

With these experiences in OVP and ICT industries, I am self-nominating for CVC leadership position, to work towards making OVP to next level of industry acceptance and adoption. Thank you.
