+
+## How I contribute / What have i done
+
+Help nudge things along in Issues and PRs in the main k/k repository. 
+
+Filed issues, worked on features, fixed bugs as well.
+
+Regularly participate in various cross cutting SIGs like Architecture, Contrib-Ex, Testing, Release etc.
+
+For various releases i have helped with triaging issues, maintain milestones for PRs and Issues, dig into CI failures etc.
+
+I like to research old outstanding issues that bother a lot of users and try to come up solutions.
+
+Help with things that hinder the contribution process for folks who do not work full time on kubernetes and try to pitch in to make it better for them.
+
+Specific items i have helped drive: 
+- breaking the openstack cloud provider code into a separate repository and setting up CI jobs including conformance tests.
+- bootstrapping the cluster-api-provider for openstack
+- enabling multi-arch support for conformance tests and release artifacts.
+
+## What i would like to do
+
+Having been part of various Open Source projects and foundations i would like to ensure that Kubernetes will be vibrant and resilient over the ups and downs of the hype curve.
+
+We are currently optimized for large-ish teams with full time contributors and i am keen on improving participation of individuals who are occasional contributors but with real world needs.
+
+I am helping with the move of our infrastructure related assets into CNCF and would love to see us as a community being able to make releases and publish images / release artifacts without having to be an employee of a specific company.
+
+Build better bridges with the broader ecosystems and other open source projects and teach/learn from each other.
