Himanshu Verma
ReportOpen-source infrastructure engineer based in India. I'm a maintainer and Technical Committee member of CNCF Kepler, where I own GPU support, the Helm manifests, e2e tests and CI. I also contribute to Apache HugeGraph (95 merged PRs across Apache repos), where I wrote the distributed-mode Helm chart and fixed bugs in its consensus, storage and auth layers. I'm independent: no company pays me for this work.
Kepler (CNCF)
Kubernetes-based Efficient Power Level Exporter. Measures energy use at node, pod, container, VM and process level and exports it as Prometheus metrics. I'm a maintainer and TC member (voted in: https://github.com/sustainable-computing-io/kepler/pull/2550) and work on GPU (NVIDIA NVML) support, Helm manifests, e2e tests, CI and releases.
Apache HugeGraph
Distributed graph database under the Apache Software Foundation. I contribute to its distributed mode: the Kubernetes Helm chart, PD and Store recovery, readiness checks and auth.
Kepler maintainer fellowship (6 months)
Six months of dedicated maintainer time on Kepler: GPU support, e2e tests, CI and releases. In the past year I'm #3 of 94 active Kepler contributors (346 contributions, 9%): https://insights.linuxfoundation.org/project/kepler/contributors?timeRange=past365days&start=2025-11-10&end=2026-11-10 The same LFX page flags that Kepler mainly relies on two companies; I'm an independent maintainer, so funding me directly reduces that risk. I'll post a quarterly update on the FOSS United forum.
Monthly Kepler maintenance
Ongoing Kepler maintenance: PR reviews, releases, CI and user issues. Any number of months helps.
