+# Derek Carr
+
+- GitHub: @derekwaynecarr
+
+## How I participate in Kubernetes?
+
+- **Current Steering Committee Member**
+- SIG Node (co-chair)
+- SIG Architecture (co-chair)
+- WG Resource Management (Emeritus Lead)
+- SIG API-Machinery, Autoscaling, Scheduling, Service Catalog (Contributor)
+
+## About me
+
+I joined in 2014 as an early external contributor.  Over the years, I have loved
+working with everyone to collaboratively build an amazing community and
+technology. I have participated in multiple sub-projects helping to mentor new
+contributors with code and coaching on technology and process to grow scope and
+sustain the project.
+
+I co-lead SIG Node and advocate for expanded workload support and improvements
+to node reliability.  Early in the project, I was able to contribute initial
+support for namespaces, quotas, limits, and internal machinery like admission
+control.  I continue to help maintain those areas in the project with the
+broader community and use my experience to inform my participation in SIG
+Architecture.
+
+In my service as a SIG chair and steering committee member, I try to listen,
+find consensus, and empower others.  I have a pragmatic approach to problem
+solving that prefers minimal solutions.
+
+## Where I see myself contributing
+
+What started as a small open source project has grown into a mission critical
+system for the world.  I hope to continue to serve as a responsible steward of
+the community that we all depend upon.
+
+Areas of focus
+
+- Delegate and empower others to meet the shifting needs of the project
+- Coordinate and unblock challenges that span SIGs
+- Responsibly sustain and grow contributor pool across all disciplines
+- Support an inviting, fun, and collaborative environment to build together
