Dear ONAP Community, I would like to nominate myself as a TSC member of the ONAP community representing AT&T.
I have been heavily involved in and responsible for the software delivery and scaling of several ECOMP Components within AT&T, which have been deployed in production for the last 6+ years. I co-led the open sourcing activities of the ECOMP Platform prior the ONAP Launch (initially OpenECOMP). I have contributed to the ONAP releases since day 1, and continue providing support to several project teams including the Integration team, subcommittees. I have worked collaboratively with the ONAP Release Managers to help drive the releases, including, but not limited to: * Preparation/review of all milestones, * Removal of roll block(s) raised by several PTLs, * Reviewing of security/license issues, * Assisting with identification and management of risks, * JIRA management, * Driving Lesson learned discussions, and * Identification of process improvements I created and lead 2 ONAP Task Forces, ONAP Cloud Native/CNF & ONAP for Enterprise Business, focusing on enabling ONAP for Innovation in support of future industry use cases. I participated in several international road shows/events since 2017 to evangelize ONAP and to share the AT&T SDN Journey. I have also served as a member of Open Networking Summit Program Committees (North America and Europe) since 2018. As your current ONAP TSC Chair and as one of the leaders of ONAP from AT&T , I believe I have a lot of experience with the ONAP code in actual production deployments, as well as broad knowledge of the ONAP solution that positions me well for the role of TSC member and continuing to drive our ONAP success story.
