What is your mission statement or objective for this new chapter?

My mission is to drive innovation and foster collaboration within the cloud-native and DevOps ecosystem. With over five years of experience in cloud-native application development and DevOps, I’ve had the privilege of working with talented individuals who are deeply committed to sharing knowledge and promoting best practices. Through my journey with cloud-native-focused companies, I’ve built strong connections with open-source enthusiasts and like-minded tech professionals. Now, I aim to contribute to the growth of this community, enabling them to engage closely with the CNCF from our own city of Kochi.
