Welcome Shubham Chaudhary as Lucene committer

Hello everyone!

I'm pleased to announce that Shubham Chaudhary has accepted the PMC's
invitation to become a committer!

Shubham, it's a tradition that new committers introduce themselves with a
brief bio.

On behalf of the Lucene PMC, thank you for your contributions, congratulations,
and welcome!

Dawid

Re: Welcome Shubham Chaudhary as Lucene committer

Posted by Shubham Chaudhary <sh...@gmail.com>.
Happy New Year, everyone, and thank you for the warm welcome! I'm honored
to join Lucene as a committer and excited to contribute further. I feel
there couldn't be a better time than the start of a new year for this.

*About myself: *
I completed my bachelor's degree in Computer Science in 2020 from Bangalore
and joined Amazon (AWS) right after graduation. I currently work on
Amazon's Product Search team, which is how and where I was first introduced
to Lucene. I moved from Bangalore to Boston a few months ago and am still
exploring the city and getting used to the freezing weather here!
Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball (it's my go-to stress buster
when I'm on the court) and occasionally painting (though less often these
days). I also like binge-watching YouTube or sports, especially tennis,
basketball, and cricket, but I consistently avoid series or shows, as I
tend to get obsessed and end up staying up for days until I finish them.
One constant in my life, however, is listening to music.

I look forward to collaborating with the community and learning from all of
you. Thank you again for the opportunity!

- Shubham Chaudhary
