| 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]]. |
|||
Before I joined the Wikimedia Foundation, I was doing research using mathematical models of electroencephalogram to give insights into new treatment methods for absence epilepsy. Before that, I studied computer science and mathematics. |
|||
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 Lead Product Manager for the [[:mw:Discovery|Discovery Department]]. Our mission is to make the wealth of knowledge and content in the Wikimedia projects easily discoverable. My primary responsibility is to guide product development across Discovery by ensuring we're aware of and adequately serving the needs of our users. Discovery's products include [[:mw:Maps|improving maps]], the [[:mw:Wikidata query service|Wikidata Query Service]], and [[:mw:Search|search]]. I also serve as the [[w:en:Scrum (software development)#Product owner|product owner]] of the search system. |
|||
Previously, I was an Associate Product Manager serving as the product owner for Mobile Apps Team (now part of the [[:mw:Reading|Reading Department]]), where I led the team in launching the official Wikipedia apps on iOS and Android. The apps are designed to provide the best and cleanest reading experience for Wikipedia, and were listed as featured apps on both the App Store on iOS and Google Play on Android. |
