Dear ONAP Community, This is my self-nomination for a seat on the ONAP TSC. I have been involved with ONAP since day one, and even before that, I was the Senior Director responsible for the development of the ECOMP platform at AT&T before ECOMP was opensourced and became officially known as ONAP.
I am an Independent Consultant focusing on the Opensource Technology, 5G Technology, Cloud Virtualization and future looking technologies. I am currently the Chairman of the ONAP Architecture Subcommittee, ARCCOM, and have supported this position for the past 3+ years. I have also been an active member of the 5G-super blueprint, LFEdge TAC, ONAP Enterprise Work Group, just to mention a few. Up until 2016 I had spent over 30+ years with AT&T labs where I managed many development organizations responsible for developing large scale systems in support of the Advanced Network Services and customer facing services. I was also a key contributor to the SDN/NFV and the virtualization strategy within the AT&T Labs. To that end, I managed the development organization that developed the ECOMP platform which, along with the Open-O Project, became known as ONAP which, as you all know, provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions. Post 2016, I've held the positions of Technical Director of Virtualization and Opensource Strategy at Huawei and Futurewei If I were elected I will continue to support this community as I have in the past 5 years and will collaborate with the rest of the team to further enhance the mainstreaming and the adoption of the ONAP platform.
