Hi team,

I am writing to formally request restoration to active Core Collaborator status in accordance with the governance policy. I previously had to step back from active contribution due to health issues. Fortunately, I have been recovering, and since last year I have been able to resume my OSS activities in the Node.js ecosystem.

Commitment Going Forward

I am committed to contributing to the Node.js project beyond just code commits. My goals include:

  • Conducting thorough and careful code reviews
  • Contributing to the ecosystem and release process
  • Supporting and engaging with the broader Node.js community

Recent Contributions

To demonstrate my renewed activity and commitment, here are my recent contributions:

Node.js Core

URL Parser (ada-url)

npm

Web Platform Tests (WPT)

Request

I respectfully submit this request for the TSC's consideration and defer to your judgment in accordance with the project's governance rules. Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to Node.js anyway.

                          Hi team,
                          I am writing to formally request restoration to active Core Collaborator status in accordance with the governance policy. I previously had to step back from active contribution due to health issues. Fortunately, I have been recovering, and since last year I have been able to resume my OSS activities in the Node.js ecosystem.
                          Commitment Going Forward
                          I am committed to contributing to the Node.js project beyond just code commits. My goals include:
                          • Conducting thorough and careful code reviews
                          • Contributing to the ecosystem and release process
                          • Supporting and engaging with the broader Node.js community
                          Recent Contributions
                          To demonstrate my renewed activity and commitment, here are my recent contributions:
                          Node.js Core
                          URL Parser (ada-url)
                          npm
                          Web Platform Tests (WPT)
                          Request
                          I respectfully submit this request for the TSC's consideration and defer to your judgment in accordance with the project's governance rules. Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to Node.js anyway.
