Dear GRASS Community,

Thank you for the nomination. I have been observing how GRASS has grown and
evolved as a geospatial computing engine since 2000, and it has been a
privilege to be part of this great open-source community for more than two
decades.

My contributions span hydrologic modeling, internationalization, and
portability. Recently, I have worked on cross-platform support through
native Windows migration and conda packaging, making GRASS easier to
install and use across three major platforms: Windows, Linux, and macOS.

If elected to the PSC, I would AIM to make the project more successful
through:

   - *Accessibility:* Making GRASS easier to install and use, particularly
   for users without administrator rights on Windows (e.g., through conda),
   - *International support:* Improving multilingual infrastructure (e.g.,
   in `lib/gis/aprintf.c`), and
   - *Modernization:* Advancing parallel computing, computational
   performance, and software architecture to support increasingly demanding
   geospatial applications (e.g., through OpenMP support)

I bring over two decades of experience and a commitment to keeping GRASS
capable, accessible, and sustainable.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,
Huidae
