I am a principal engineer at NVIDIA, focusing on +cloud-native development and leading Kata and Confidential Containers efforts +across various architectures—from embedded and edge devices to data centers and +cloud platforms. Over the last four years, I’ve been deeply involved in Kata, +bringing my expertise and dedication to help it flourish. + +Throughout my career, I’ve gained extensive technical knowledge in system +software development, performance engineering, and virtualization—experience +that spans robotics at the Fraunhofer Institute, automotive research at +Mercedes, mainframe and blade servers at IBM, and cloud/Kubernetes roles at +RedHat and NVIDIA. In Kata, I helped introduce the virtualization reference +architecture to support advanced GPU use cases like GPUDirect RDMA and GPUDirect +GDS. I also added GPU, vGPU (time-sliced and MIG-backed) support, and recently +focused on confidential GPU capabilities. All of these efforts have aimed to +expand Kata’s features and better serve the wider community. + +Collaboration and teamwork are at the heart of my approach. I have led +cross-functional teams and worked with diverse stakeholders to ensure open +communication and consensus-driven decisions. I stay up-to-date with emerging +technologies and industry trends, continually seeking ways to enhance +efficiency, scalability, and user satisfaction in our projects. + +Looking ahead, I am excited to help guide our work into the secure AI era. By +strengthening confidential computing, advancing GPU virtualization technologies, +and aligning with robust security standards, I believe we can ensure that our +project remains at the forefront of modern AI use cases—empowering developers +and users alike with trusted, scalable solutions. + +If given the opportunity, I will continue promoting innovation, community +engagement, and transparency within the Architecture Committee. Thank you for +considering my nomination, and I look forward to helping guide our work to even +greater success. + +Sincerely, +Mr. Z \ No newline at end of file
