+I am an open-source enthusiast and firm believer that Istio will become the dominant service mesh. I am passionate about advocating for Istio in the service mesh industry and helping users adopt Istio successfully. If elected, I would love to help out with various aspects of making Istio successful, such as enforcing principles to guide the project or fostering an environment for happy developers, contributors, vendors, and users, and providing neutral mediation for non-technical disputes. I speak Chinese fluently in addition to English and can help resolve concerns raised around our Chinese community.
