I'd like to nominate Silas Davis (CTO, Monax). Here is his pitch -
+++++
Bio: I am Silas Davis, CTO of Monax the company that originally donated
Hyperledger Burrow. I remain the lead maintainer of Burrow which has been
integrated into both Fabric an Sawtooth Lake. Monax is launching a public
legal agreements network based on Burrow at its core:
https://agreements.network/.
Burrow is not the highest profile project but has had a lot of (hopefully
positive) movement over the past few months. It occupies an interesting
position within Hyperledgerth interest across other projects and the
potential to build bridges to the Ethereum and Tendermint communities as
well as between projects at Hyperledger.
I am a failed wrestler and a failed mathematician: I once had a amateur MMA
fight in Glasgow and I studied Mathematical Physics (MPhys) at Edinburgh
University and then more maths at Cambridge in the UK, before deciding that
software was going to be more my thing. I worked at SwiftKey for 2 1/2
years working on machine learning / big (_medium_ really) data engineering
involving natural language processing at scale using across n-gram,
bayesian, and neural models. I joined Monax in early 2016 as a platform
engineer and became CTO about seven months ago. Driven by an interest in
smart contracts as their promise to be 'a better glue' and the vague
yearning to decentralise all the things I have not looked back. I love
working in this area, and if you keep your head down it seems like it might
just work. Hyperledger is a great organisation having had experience with
others, and I'd love to get more involved.
Pros: Marmot, active lead contributor, broad interest from formal stuff to
practical stuff, forcing my our dogfood down my throat on a daily basis
with the Agreements Network, can talk to people nicely.
Cons: Marmot, less experience than some (about 8 1/2 years commercial
software), sometimes forget when my quarterly update is, bad French accent.
Why I'd like to do it: I would like to see open systems and open software
succeed, Hyperledger is a great vessel for that so I would like to see
Hyperledger succeed, and hopefully I could contribute to that by providing
useful feedback via the TSC. Aside from that I think I could learn a lot
from other members of the TSC and wider community while giving back on
areas where I have a niche.
Best
