Software Engineer, Wikimedia Foundation
About me
I'm a software engineer living in Philadelphia. I've been editing Wikipedia for years, and I'm amazed by how far we've come, and how much there's still to do. While at Georgia Tech, I joined the team working on ProveIt, an interface that makes it easier to add references to Wikipedia. I am now the main developer.
My work
I'm on the Editor Engagement Experiments team, working on projects like GuidedTour and GettingStarted, so we can increase editing and help strengthen communities.
