| 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 Senior Product Manager for [[:mw:Editing team|Editing]]. Our mission is to build and maintain the editing experiences on the Wikimedia wikis. We work on [[:mw:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]], the [[:mw:2017 wikitext editor|2017 wikitext editor]], the [[:mw:WikiEditor|WikiEditor]], and other tools used by our content contributors. |
|||
Previously, I was the Lead Product Manager for [[:mw:Wikimedia Discovery|Discovery]] (now part of [[:mw:Readers|Readers]]). Discovery's mission is to make the wealth of knowledge in the Wikimedia projects easily discoverable. I guided product development across Discovery, and served as the product owner for [[:mw:Search|search]]. |
|||
Before that, I was the Associate Product Manager for Mobile Apps (now also part of Readers). The apps are designed to provide the best reading experience for Wikipedia, and have been featured apps on both the iOS App Store and Google Play. |
