Being a contributing member of OpenStack since 2010, Mike Perez has served as a core developer for the OpenStack block storage project Cinder and as a PTL for the Kilo and Liberty releases. During some of this time, he worked for DreamHost in helping with their OpenStack public cloud and helping with integrating a variety of block storage solutions like Ceph and Datera. Today he supports the OpenStack Foundation with the success of cross-project initiatives and the overall quality and health of the project and community.

When Mike is not testing your code patches, he can be found dancing, getting his hair done, stair climbing, and doing karaoke for your entertainment.
