<div>My current role is Staff Engineering in the Open Source Software Group and I
</div>
<div>am working on virtualization and container technology on the Arm</div>
<div>platform. I have more than 10 years of experience in low level Linux software
</div>
<div>development, especially for linux kernel [1], DPDK on arm64 [2] and hardware
</div>
<div>virtualization development including KVM and qemu [3]. </div>

<div>In recent years, our team started development on RunV project, one of the</div>
<div>predecessors to Kata-containers, to enable and enhance the multi-arch support.</div>
<div>Our focus areas included KVMtool support, performance profiling of the network</div>
<div>and storage devices for virtual machines, and we also worked on stability and</div>
<div>density improvements. For example, our team enabled the memory hotplug support,
</div>
<div>vm template on Kata-containers project. As for virtio-fs support on arm64, we
</div>
<div>fixed a lot issues on persistent memory and DAX support.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For these collaborations, there were public blogs announced at [4] and [5]</div>

</div>
<div>We have met regularly with Hyper team to discuss the development issues and </div>
<div>solutions of the project.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For conference presentation, our team members once attended Denver 2019 summit
</div>
<div>as speakers [4]:</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Interests:</div>
<div>We believe Kata-containers is a fast developing project and that it</div>
<div>will have much broader applicability across different architectures and use</div>
<div>cases, especially within the emerging next-generation IoT and 5G era! These</div>
<div>different use cases will generate new design requirements of the underlying</div>
<div>architecture and we believe strongly that good multi-architecture support will</div>
<div>be essential to position Kata-containers for broad adoption throughout the cloud</div>
<div>native ecosystem.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We look forward to driving these changes together, so the Kata-containers project</div>
<div>can reach its full potential!</div>
