Michele Tucci started attending the Research Group's (RG) DevOps Performance Working Group meetings in December 2021. Since then, he has significantly impacted the RG DevOps Performance Working Group and the Research Group as a whole. Michele took a leading role in and made significant contributions to two RG DevOps Performance subgroups: Performance Change Point Detection and Search-based Software Performance Engineering. He created the first version of a curated dataset of real-world workload performance changes to assess the quality of current change detection methods. In RG, Michele accepted the RG Steering Committee's nomination to serve as RG Release Manager, and again quickly found his role and made significant contributions.
