Moving forward, I want to help accelerate ONAP’s move to a meritocratic community and build additional bridges and stronger ties to other projects – within (i.e. to OPNFV, FD.io, PNDA, ...) and outside the LFN (incl. CNCF), including:

• Making Lab-as-a-Service available to the ONAP community
• Accelerating the integration of PNDA into DCAE
• Accelerating cross community CI

I have served on the ONAP TSC since the founding of the community last year.  I contributed to the architectural principles and have led coordination of the S3P/Platform Maturity Requirements for the Beijing and Casablanca releases.  I have also represented the community, presenting on ONAP and related topics (DevOps & Platform Maturity) at industry conferences (KubeCon, SDN/NFV World Congress, and ONS)

I would enjoy the opportunity to continue working in the ONAP community as a TSC representative, furthering the maturity of the platform via the S3P requirements, and ensuring ease of consumability by users of ONAP.  I would also encourage the community to leverage existing cloud-based technologies and platforms, allowing the ONAP community to focus on their specialty areas of networking and automation.
