Before Kata, I spent time working +on Clear Containers, and prior to that spent a few years working on Linux kernel. + +Since the initial discussions of creating Kata started I have been an active contributor and advocate for the +project, both in code and in the greater Kata community/ecosystem. While I do work within +a silicon company, one of my primary goals for helping guide Kata has been developing a neutral and +diverse contribution base. Aside from having a stable, compatible, and viable technical basis for the +project, I think a healthy and robust community is key to sustained success. + +Over the last year, I have served as a member of the Kata Containers architecture committee. The project has +matured a lot over the last year, with expanding production usage and user-base. Despite this, we still have a lot of room +for development, continuing to improve our density and security profile, all while providing improved manageability +and serviceability for users who are deploying Kata. Beyond this work, we will need to focus on attaining and addressing +input from end-users, as well as adapting to and influencing the cloud native ecosystem. + +In other words, we still have a lot of fun work to do! I look forward to continuing to contribute to the project.
