| about me = I started editing the English Wikipedia as [[w:en:User:Deskana|Deskana]] in 2005. I became an administrator in 2006 and have done many things since then, but my most prominent activity has been in my service as a [[w:en:Wikipedia:CheckUser|CheckUser]].

I have a Bachelor's Degree (with Honours) in Computer Science and Mathematics, and have submitted for a Master's Degree (with Honours) in Systems Biology. My research during my Master's was on mathematical models of electroencephalogram for the treatment of absence epilepsy.

In my spare time, I enjoy cycling, travelling, video games (in particular StarCraft II), tasting different beers, and fixing/breaking computers. Also, I spend some of my spare time on that whole Wikipedia thing. You might have heard of it? ;-)

| about my work = I am the Associate Product Manager for Platform. Broadly speaking, this means that I am responsible, from start to finish, for seeing through projects which relate to improving MediaWiki.

For the community, my work makes me a good point of contact for anyone who has any questions, comments, or concerns about how we're developing MediaWiki. Feel free to get in touch, and I will either be able to answer your question, or point you to someone who can.

I maintain a rough list of things I'm working on [[mw:User:DGarry (WMF)/Priorities|here]]. The scope of my work means that I'll ultimately be managing smaller projects than the other product managers, but I'll be doing more projects at once than they are.
