Provide and Build New Public Cloud Services Based on OpenStack
Over the past 10 years, I’m happy to have watched the hosting industry transform and be part of the transformation process as it evolved from traditional physical hardware to cloud-native infrastructure, powered by OpenStack. Since the creation of VEXXHOST, I have had the chance to work with different sorts of customers, ranging from growing small businesses to helping architect solutions for large Fortune 500 companies, based on OpenStack. I've helped integrate other open infrastructure projects into our commercial offering.
By fostering OpenStack at it’s early days in 2011, it has helped improve the project and our service as a whole. I’ve been a contributor to the project since and I have contributed code to almost every release of OpenStack since then. I've also served as PTL for Puppet OpenStack, continue to serve as a PTL for OpenStack-Ansible and serve on the technical commitee, chairing tthe commitee for a term.
I'm involved in the following OpenStack projects: Compute Service (Nova),Networking (Neutron),Block Storage (Cinder),Image Service (Glance),Puppet Modules for OpenStack (Puppet OpenStack)
I've been around OpenInfra since it's inception and I've been heavily involved in making it more reachable to users all over the world, advocating for both the community of developers, but also the operators and doing the best to be a bridge between the both.
I've served on the OpenInfra Foundation and formerly the OpenStack foundation with putting in the best effort possible to try and help drive change as much as possible within the foundation.
It should help enable projects grow and help work with the foundation staff in order to accomplish the goals necessary for the growth of the foundation.
Driving the current foundation staff to continue on-boarding new members as well as working on bringing in new projects to the foundation.
