Biography
Jamo's entire career to date (21 years via Cisco, HP, Red Hat and currently Lumina Networks) has been in the networking industry exclusively in system test and automation. He works remotely from Sacramento, CA. He has been involved as a contributor since the 2nd OpenDaylight release (Helium). He has worked closely as the test lead in several projects including OpenflowPlugin, OVSDB, and Netvirt. He has served as the Integration/Test projects Technical Lead (PTL) since 2015 and served on the TSC since 2016.
Projects
- PTL: Integration/Test
- Committer Integration/Test, Integration/Packaging, Releng/Builder, Autorelease
Statement of Intent
- Test automation has always been important to me and I believe it is vital to any software project. As the PTL of Integration/Test I try to help drive high quality automated system test across all OpenDaylight projects which in turn helps deliver a higher quality OpenDaylight release. The top benchmark for deciding release quality resides on the automated tests run by the various OpenDaylight projects and supporting and that process will be a top priority.

Statement of Intent
My goal for OpenDaylight has always been the same: deliver the quality and usability required for the controller to be broadly consumed and ultimately deployed in production, while fostering projects collaboration and contributors innovation. OpenDaylight has evolved since its start and I believe current users are looking for an stable, flexible and scalable platform they can use to write SDN applications. As a TSC member I would like to work in community matters like: new contributors welcome, lower entry barrier, users technical support, updated documentation, or simpler processes; as well as technical matters like: current platform features and performance competitiveness, integration with new technologies (e.g. kubernetes) or southbound devices interoperability.
