Experience and involvement in APNIC activities

Having worked in various corporations, including ISPs and cloud providers I have a fundamental knowledge in how APNIC policies shape geographical and economic internet planning.

I have a well known background in internet advocacy including recently writing and pushing the new, now under vote, EC reform policies.

I have attended a number of conferences, working groups and NOG's in the past. I believe people know my experience and can trust my judgement on these matters.

Nominee statement

With a professional experience of more than 15 years in various ranks and organisations, I'm accepting this nomination to be the co-chair of Policy SIG.

In more than a decade long professional career during which I have put a lot of efforts in building cloud services, including deploying OpenStack and integrating cloud technologies, the recognition by the community to elect me as a core team member of OpenStack Helm shows my commitment and involvement in the open-source community.

I'm not just an observer; I actively participate in the open-source community. I've been deeply involved in code reviews and have made substantial contributions as a developer, showcasing my commitment to open-source principles and collaborative development. Currently serving as the Chief Technology Officer at ResetData

My passion lies in nurturing community development and ensuring that policy development, within any community, embraces a multi-stakeholder approach. I wholeheartedly advocate for the strengthening of APNIC and its bottom-up, community-driven policy development process, which strongly resonates with the values I hold dear.
