+Hello Airship community,
+
+I’d like to announce my nomination for the 2021 Airship Technical Committee
+election.
+
+I started to work in the Airship community 1.5 years ago mostly focusing on the
+main component - airshipctl. I am the author of multiple major changes [1], which
+allowed to improve core functionality and make the code more efficient, readable
+and robust, for instance enabling full-fledged static validation of K8s manifests.
+I've always been trying to bring my best ideas to design meetings and
+finally implement them, making the project better and competitive.
+My contribution was appreciated by other team members and I became
+a core reviewer.
+
+Prior to that, I had a solid background as software engineer with experience
+in operations, which I believe I can completely use and share in the Airship community.
+
+Being a part of Technical Committee is an opportunity to me to continue
+to make my effort contributing to all Airship components and taking them to the next
+level, making the airshipctl a powerful tool which completely satisfies user's needs.
+I am happy to help the community to go through all the challenges on the way to this goal
+and will try to invite a broader audience for community discussions and active contributors.
+
+
+Thank you in advance for your consideration,
+
+Ruslan Aliev
