I have been contributing to the upstream Linux kernel since 2018, so some might consider me more of a newbie compared to others :) I have done most of my contributions under the umbrella of improving and maintaining the kernel's clang/LLVM build support and status, which has required that I build bridges and work with many maintainers/developers both in the kernel and LLVM communities. Additionally, since last year, I help maintain Kbuild and Kconfig with Nicolas Schier. All of this work has given me a certain perspective on idealism, pragmatism, and maintenance that could be useful to the TAB. I care very deeply about this community succeeding in the long term and I thoroughly enjoy working with many different maintainers/developers on a constant basis as part of my work. I want to make sure that everyone's interests and perspectives are properly considered and represented in discussions. -- Cheers, Nathan
