All,

I am volunteering to serve on the Linux Technical Advisory Board.

I work across subsystems as a contributor and maintainer. I maintain
kselftest, USB over IP driver and tool, media vimc driver, and
cpupower tool. I co-maintain nolibc and kunit. My work requires me to
collaborate across the kernel subsystems and the community which is
challenging and fulfilling.

I serve on the Code of Conduct Committee focusing on making the
community a welcoming place for all. Serving on the CoC is
challenging. It requires making tough calls to investigate reports,
make decisions on the validity of the reports, and take action as
needed.

I serve on the Linux Plumbers Conference Program Committee to help run
the conference. LPC enables and fosters important discussions about
the kernel development connecting the kernel and user-space developer
communities.

I have designed and established mentorship program for new open source
developers. The mentorship program enables new developers from diverse
backgrounds to become productive members of open source communities.
I actively mentor many new kernel developers. This program has enabled
kernel experts to share their knowledge and train the next generation
of developers helping the community to sustain and thrive. Mentoring
keeps me actively engaged in understanding new developer experience
with the kernel community and the kernel development.

If elected, I would like to work with TAB focusing on the health of
the community and be a bridge to new developers, kernel community, and
the TAB.
