+
+##### Introduce yourself in a few words and what your current job role is
+
+Hi, I am Abhisar Sinha, working as a Senior Software Engineer at
+ShapeBlue since early 2024. I have 14 years of industry experience. My
+day-to-day work involves developing new features and interacting with
+the community, including fixing bugs, reviewing PRs, contributing to
+discussions, and managing releases.
+
+##### What are some of your key contributions to the Apache CloudStack project?
+
+I have worked on the Shared FileSystem feature, which was a marquee
+feature in 4.20. Since then, I have focused on Backup and Recovery
+infrastructure improvements, including features like Create Instance
+from Backup. In 4.22, I developed the inbuilt extensions for Proxmox
+and Hyper-V as part of the Extensions Framework. Currently, I am
+working on Veeam integration for KVM in CloudStack, as well as the VPN
+Provider Framework.
+
+##### What would your advice be to people interested in the CloudStack project, but not sure how to get involved?
+
+I would recommend getting involved with the community through mailing
+lists or GitHub. Explore areas that interest you, go through the
+available guides and documentation, and don’t hesitate to reach
+out. Let the community know you’re interested, and people will help
+guide you.
+
+##### What do you think are some of the standout features introduced in the last two years?
+
+CloudStack has seen a significant number of new features and
+improvements over the last couple of years. Some standout additions
+include ARM64 support, GPU as a first-class feature, the Extensions
+Framework, and continued enhancements to the Backup and Recovery
+framework.
+
+##### What are some features that have not been developed yet and are not in the current roadmap that you would like to see
+
+I would like to see a feature that makes troubleshooting easier,
+possibly integrated into the UI and APIs, using AI to analyze logs and
+identify the most probable causes of failures.
+
+Another interesting direction for CloudStack could be expansion into
+managed services. Shared FileSystems is one such example, but it could
+benefit from improvements like auto-scaling and broader protocol
+support. Database-as-a-Service could also be a valuable addition.
