Until that time, Joel will be handling the full second quarter reporting cycle and driving a smooth transition, including serving in an advisory capacity after the end of the second quarter reporting cycle. On a personal note, I'd like to thank Joel for his many years of service to the company and its shareholders. and to acknowledge his professionalism, expertise, and unparalleled character. He's played a pivotal role in defining who we are today and setting us up on our future course. Our staff, customers, partners, and shareholders hold him in the highest regard, and on behalf of everyone, we'll be wishing him well in retirement. As for our incoming CFO, Jerry Yang, he's really hit the ground running, and we look forward to his contributions moving forward. With that, Jerry, would you like to introduce yourself?
