About me
I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in January 2016.
I like maps that are open and free. In a past life, I helped to create and bring to life the now defunct OSM project on MapQuest.
In my spare time, I enjoy riding bikes, listening to live music, and long walks with my partner.
My work
I am the lead manager and organizer for the Developer Outreach program, as part of the Program Management team in the Product & Technology Department of the Wikimedia Foundation. My work focuses on programs such as Google Summer of Code (GSoC), Outreachy, Coolest Tool Award, Wikimedia Hackathon, Wikimania Hackathon, and other technical community facing programs.
