+# Michael Rubin Bio

+
+## About Me
+
+I have been a software engineer, technical manager, and leader for
+~20 years.  I am passionate about helping projects and people thrive.
+Today I lead a number of Kubernetes teams at Google, including Storage,
+Networking, Multi-cluster, Node, and more.
+
+I love coding and technology, but even more than that I love mentoring
+others and helping them to have impact and grow professionally.  This is
+why I choose to support teams and projects as a technical manager.
+
+My leadership style is to bring sharp focus to technical efforts, and
+to help others become successful leaders, themselves.  I find that many
+technology problems are not purely technical, and one of my biggest
+strengths is my ability communicate, connect with people, and get to
+the root of a problem.  People are not machines, and they need different
+skills than just pure engineering.
+
+During my 1.5 years with Kubernetes, I have worked directly and
+indirectly with several SIGs - Storage, Multi-cluster, Networking,
+Scheduling, and Node.  I think I have brought clarity and structure to
+the efforts, helped organize priorities and roadmaps, and helped the
+teams and individuals grow.  I have built lasting relationships with
+the people of Kubernete, and not just the code.
+
+As a member of the Steering Committee, I would focus on:
+
+ * Cross SIG efforts and how to co-ordinate them
+ * Getting more things out of core, but keeping them part of Kubernetes
+ * Maintain the cool, open and inviting environment we have today
+ * Delegate and empower others by adding structure (not process)
+
