Short personal pitch

Being a member of the Hyperledger TSC in 2019/2020 has been an honour. It allowed me to have a direct connection to a growing and sparkling community whose goal, that I share, is to improve the understanding and to widespread blockchain technologies. Lots of work remains to do in multiple dimensions: Integration, interoperability, security, just to name a few. It is essential to keep the Hyperledger project the point of reference for all the companies and the researches who are interested in blockchain technologies. 

For the above reasons, I ask the votes of the community to be confirmed as TSC member.
