About me

I began working for the Wikimedia Foundation in May 2016. I am also a volunteer contributor on various WMF projects, with my home wiki being the English Wikipedia. My activity there stems back to 2003 where I made occasional edits anonymously, eventually becoming an admin in 2014.

Outside Wikimedia, I am a passionate musician, web developer, chess player, and amateur photographer.

My work

At Community Tech I work with the Wikimedia community and my team to develop tools and features that have topped the annual Community Wishlist Survey.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
