My primary concern for the kernel is security. I'm a member of the security@kernel.org response team, lead the Kernel Self-Protection Project[1], maintain[2] for the kernel hardening, seccomp, and pstore trees, and am a co-maintainer of the exec and binfmt tree. As a result, I frequently work kernel-wide across many subsystems (or many architectures) when helping land various security defenses. This cross-maintainer work is a unique social and technical challenge, and the topic of "security" is a similarly wide and unique challenge. I'd like to continue to represent both of these concerns on the TAB. In addition, I also bring several "downstream" perspectives on how the kernel is consumed, from those of a general-purpose distro (having worked on Ubuntu's security team) to those of special-purpose device vendors (having worked with Chrome OS, Google Cloud, and Android). Notable over my last 2 years on the TAB was helping review hundreds of patches from UMN and showing that the incident[3] was one of misunderstanding and lack of education rather than of malice. I helped with the final report, and coordinated the creation of the base Researcher Guideline documentation[4]. I've also continued to support[5] the TAB's online election process.
