Short personal bio

I have spent my career working on enterprise software projects with a focus on business process automation and data integration. When I learned about blockchain I was excited to jump in, contributing to Hyperledger Fabric and eventually becoming a maintainer and then Fabric release manager in 2017. I've enjoyed being active with the Hyperledger community, initially by helping users on the mailing list, stackoverflow, and chat. More recently, I have been leading the Fabric contributor meeting and RFC process to help turn community ideas into enterprise quality code, started a samples workgroup to help turn application ideas into official Fabric community samples and tutorials, and put in a place a long-term support (LTS) release strategy to provide early adopters with the confidence to deploy blockchain applications into production environments, knowing that a community of maintainers and contributors will be there to help.

Short personal pitch

Through the many Fabric releases and user and contributor interactions I have learned many lessons. I've learned about user requirements and application patterns. I've learned what works (and what doesn't!) in an open source community, and I've learned that a community is greater than the sum of its parts and can deliver great things when working together. I would be thrilled to use the lessons that I have learned to help the broader set of Hyperledger projects as a member of the Technical Steering Committee.
