I will be honored and privileged  to serve this committee on the governing board.

I am currently the technical chair for the Linux Foundation ONAP, where my organization is actively contributing code and leading over half of the TSC projects. My team and I are actively leading or contributing to other open source projects including Acumos Deep Learning, ODL and Akraino  EdgeStack.

I've been involved in Open Source Networking of various sorts for over 15 years, dating back to being a committer on Wireshark in he early 2000s.

I am currently the TSC Chair of the FD.io community, was a founding TSC member at OpenDaylight and ONAP, and was immortalized in lego by the OpNFV community.

I feel strongly that its crucial that the TAC represent the technical communities of all the LFN community to the board.

My broad experience across all of the major project technical communities over the last half decade puts me in an excellent position to represent the technical community to the board.

Understanding the communities’ needs and be able to voice them to the GB are the key characteristics of the GB representative we've outlined together.

I’ve been part of several open-source communities in the last years and I’ve gathered a good amount of experience in understanding their needs. I’ve always focused my attention on critical areas. I had been Core Reviewer for OpenStack Neutron for few years. There I pushed for an internship program in a moment when starting contributing to Neutron was hard to say the least. I am currently a member of the TSC of OPNFV. In OPNFV I was an early supporter of the XCI, whose benefits are now known to everybody. 

In SUSE I lead the engineering team that focus on SDN and NFV.  We contribute actively to OPNFV, ODL, data plane projects (i.e. FD.io, DPDK, ODP, OpenVSwitch) and we plan to get more involved with ONAP . This gives me a good insight on most of the projects of the LF Networking Fund.

With my experience in open-source and my familiarity with the projects of the LF Networking Fund I am sure I could serve the community as GB representative very well.
