My Work
I used to work on the Platform Engineering Team where I helped refactor Wikipedia and standardize API usages. I am a founding member of the Event Platform team where we worked on scalable streaming and event processing infrastructure. I currently work on the Data Engineering team. Read my user guide on how to talk to me.
About Me
My hobby is learning new hobbies. Currently I'm juggling learning Japanese, Urban Sketching, carpentry, and evidence-based resistance training. I also create content for fun under a few pseudonyms and my current/former online presence includes being a Twitch affiliate, YouTube partner, and published musician on Spotify/Apple Music.
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, and edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
