Short personal pitch

I would like to continue representing both the interests of Hyperledger Indy, Aries and Ursa as well as the various working groups I’ve been privileged to participate in. We have a vibrant community that has interest in many areas. As a TSC member, I seek to preserve the autonomy and authority of each project and their volunteers while also facilitating as much collaboration and cross ­project participation as we can, ­­building towards the strongest possible brand and a more cohesive, open community. I believe in the power of ledgers as transformative to technology and society (public, permissionless, permissioned and private), and continue efforts ­­building bridges in the distributed ledger and identity spaces, and inviting others who are doing innovative work to make our community the center of their open source development efforts.
