Hi there! I’d like to put myself forward as a core contributor to the edx-platform repository.

Prior work
I’ve been in the Open edX community as a full-stack developer since 2015. My first PR to edx-platform was in 2016 (I stuck with it as long as I could, but sadly it didn’t make the cut), and here are a couple that I managed to get merged:

- [BD-14] Changes for Libraries v2 by arbrandes · Pull Request #24454 · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub
