Nomination for new Tech Leads

[lianmakesthings]

With the current leadership changes in the TAG App Delivery, we want to fill two additional Tech Lead (for trial run as defined here) seats with new members. This issue is to collect nominations for these seats.

Process
The Nomination Phase is open until October. After this, the TAG Leadership (Chairs, Tech Leads, and WG Leads) will elect two candidates for a trial run (three months). The three-month period can be shortened when the Leadership Team is convinced of the candidate's dedication and motivation to move things forward. After a successful trial run, we will open an issue to the TOC to confirm the TLs.

Requirements
Typically, a Tech Lead of the TAG App Delivery should fulfil the following requirements:

• has been active in the community within the last 6 months
• engaged regularly with the community via slack, mailinglists or the meetings (general or WGs) within the last 6 months.
• commenting on PRs and issues to drive suggestions to proposals, define scope, resolve clarity issues, etc.

Nominations need to include the following information and should be posted as comments to this issue:

• Name of the nominee.
• Employer or other relevant professional affiliation of the nominee.
• Short CV: Three to five sentences.
• Motivation for the role and previous contributions to the TAG.
• Commitment on how much time the nominee can dedicate to the role.

Please keep the nomination short and concise.

We're looking forward to your nominations!

I'd like to nominate myself for Tech Lead.

• Name of the nominee:
  Dylan Page

• Professional affiliation of the nominee
  Engineering Manager, Core Infra at Lambda

• Short CV - Three to five sentences
  I am currently an Engineering Manager for the Core Infra team within the Platform group at Lambda, with over 10 years of experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining internal platforms. At Lambda, I lead initiatives to enhance our Kubernetes-based infrastructure, ensuring a customer-centric mindset when it comes to building a platform for internal developers. Prior to Lambda, I worked at Autodesk for 4 years, supporting an internal developer platform, and spent 5 years at DigitalOcean building out their cloud platform. My career has been dedicated to advancing cloud-native technologies and fostering innovation in platform engineering.

• Motivation for the role and previous contributions to the TAG
  As an active member of the CNCF community, I have been consistently engaged in TAG App Delivery activities for the past 10 months. I regularly participate in general meetings and working group sessions, contributing insights on best practices. Recently, I played a key role in submitting Atlantis to the CNCF, resulting in volunteering more time to support and evangelize the TAG community, while also driving the creation of a new Working Group focused on Infrastructure Lifecycle (see Evaluation of infrastructure provisioning related topics  #589 Charter proposal for infrastructure lifecycle wg #691). My motivation for the Tech Lead role stems from a deep commitment to help, educate, and give back more significantly to the TAG's objectives.

• Commitment on how much time you can dedicate to the role
  I am able to allocate a minimum of 4-6 hours per week to support the TAG.
