Applying for Dapr community manager (SantoDE)

[SantoDE]

Hi everyone!

For those who don’t know me yet, I’m Manuel, and I’m a huge fan of Dapr! 😄

I previously worked at Traefik Labs, the company behind the beloved reverse proxy Traefik, where I held various roles, including Head of Product Open Source. That role was a highlight of my career, and ever since I left it, I’ve felt a bit of a void in my nerdy heart. Seeing this opportunity has me genuinely excited!

I’m deeply involved in the CNCF ecosystem as a regular contributor. Whether it’s through blog posts, talks at conferences, or helping others troubleshoot and get started, I’m always eager to share knowledge and give back. I strongly believe the Dapr community is already an amazing space, and I’d love the chance to contribute to its growth and help make it even better.

What can I bring to the table? A mix of open-source product expertise, a passion for developer empowerment, and a lot of hands-on experience with the tools and technologies that make up the cloud-native landscape. More importantly, I’m committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for anyone interested in Dapr.

Thanks for considering me—I’d love to help this awesome community thrive!

Cheers,
Manuel
