| about me = In December 2005, I co-founded [http://muppet.wikia.com Muppet Wiki], a collaborative encyclopedia about Jim Henson and the Muppets. I instantly fell in love with collaborative writing, and the awesome power of the wiki platform.

Muppet Wiki turned into a huge, beautiful, and deeply peculiar site -- more than 25,000 pages, so far -- and building the wiki quickly became my favorite thing to do. Since 2005, I've made [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/User:Toughpigs more than 125,000 content edits] on Muppet Wiki.

I was the kind of user at Wikia who has tons of ideas about how to make the site better, and I talked a lot to the community and product teams there. By 2007, I'd left my job as an educator at a non-profit agency, moved to San Francisco, and started working for Wikia.

As a Product Manager at Wikia, I worked on lots of different projects, most of them aimed at increasing the number of contributors and contributions on the site. My team built a new Activity Feed, a Create a Wiki workflow, a new Photo Gallery tool, a Theme Designer, a Chat feature, and a Related Pages navigation tool. The most ambitious feature that we built was the [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Toughpigs Message Wall], a top-to-bottom redesign of MediaWiki's user talk system.

Outside of work, I also write a daily blog called "[http://darkshadowseveryday.com Dark Shadows Every Day]", about the 1960s vampire soap opera.

This is my work account, which I use for my job at the Wikimedia Foundation. My volunteer account is [[User:Toughpigs]]; I've been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2005.
| about my work = I've been working for the Wikimedia Foundation since 2014. I'm the Director of Product Management for the Contributors team, which includes several teams: Editing, Global Collaboration, Community Tech and the Anti-Harassment Tools team.
