Short personal pitch

I would like to nominate myself - Sownak Roy - to serve on the Hyperledger Technical Steering Committee. I am a Technology Architect at Accenture, where I focus on architecture and implementing DLT solutions.

If elected to the TSC, I will bring my strong developer experience and my deep technical expertise into shaping more wholesome opensource products/packages. I am more inclined to solve the problems in adoption of the DLT Technologies among developers as building production-grade DLT networks come with its own challenges because of the complexity.

I am already the main maintainer of HyperledgerLabs Blockchain Automation Framework. I have lead technical workshops (both physical and virtual) and was the main speaker in a few Hyperledger meetups around the globe.

My focus would be on 

• making DLT technologies easier to adopt at the lowest level
• Getting more developers to contribute to Hyperledger projects by hosting Contribute-a-thons
• work on making the varied Hyperledger projects to be more cohesive with each other.
