Kendall is an Upstream Developer Advocate at the OpenStack Foundation based in Seattle, WA. She started working on OpenStack during the Liberty release and has been involved in several of the subprojects and held a variety of positions. She's been involved in the release team, helped run upstream training and onboard new contributors, acted as a mentor, and recently joined the Technical Committee.

When she is not evangelizing about the awesomeness of OpenStack, bringing people into the community, or working to make upstream development a friendlier place, she can be found reading Harry Potter, watching Doctor Who, or out on a photo taking adventure.
