Thanks for the nomination Alexander, I'm happy to accept. I've been a FIG Secretary for 2 years now and I think it's time for someone else to step into those shoes, but I would love to be able to continue to contribute to the FIG's goals as a member of the Core Committee.
*A bit of an intro about me:* I've been a FIG Secretary for 2 years, during which time I was one of the two main co-authors of the FIG 3.0 specification and aided people all across the FIG ecosystem from PSR Editors to Core Committee Members to Project Reps on a variety of things as part of my role as FIG Secretary. Before being a PHP FIG Secretary I was the editor of PSR-12, on which I've remained part of the working group and I also helped draft a number of bylaws including the one drafting the secretary role. I also was in a relatively unique position where part of my role was to watch what the community is saying about the PHP FIG on Twitter, as well as to advocate for the PHP FIG at conferences and user groups across the globe, and as a result, I've spoken to hundreds of people, from lead developers to community contributors to your average Joe developer and heard what they have to say about the FIG. I've also had very close contact with our PSR Editors, including those of PSRs that are yet-to-come which means I have a good knowledge of the current and many of the future specifications the FIG is producing. Outside the PHP FIG I've been a backend developer for a number of years now, and currently work at SamKnows as Lead Technical Architect, mostly doing Big Data and Machine Learning type stuff in PHP and Python. I'm also on the core development team of phpBB and am quite closely associated with the Symfony community. As a result I feel I'm in a good position to be able to represent the community's views on the core committee.
