Hi there! I’d like to put myself forward as a core contributor to the [edx-platform repository](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform). ### Motivation Though my job title at Axim is Frontend Engineer, a lot of my work involves reviewing changes to the backend that have a direct impact on the frontend. Being able to merge these kinds of PRs (like [this](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/34337), or [this other one](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/34339)) will help widen this particular bottleneck. ### 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](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/11605)), and here are a couple that I managed to get merged: - [Optimize blockstore cache by arbrandes · Pull Request #24058 · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/24058) - [[BD-14] Changes for Libraries v2 by arbrandes · Pull Request #24454 · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/24454) As prior release manager for the Build Test Release group, I also already have write access to the edx-platform release branches, as evidenced by: - [Backport critical Discussions changes to Olive by arbrandes · Pull Request #31345 · openedx/edx-platform · GitHub](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/pull/31345) ### Comment Period 2024-03-08 → 2024-03-22 ---
