I'm a software and language engineer, with a M.A. in Language Technology. I've been a free software contributor since about 2003. I joined Wikipedia in 2004 and soon became a MediaWiki translator. To aid my translation work, I created a wiki which has grown to become [[translatewiki:|translatewiki.net]], which now manages translation of dozens of free software projects in hundreds of languages and has thousands of translators. The [[mw:Extension:Translate|Translate extension]], created for translatewiki.net, is now used on several projects, including [[Meta:|Meta-Wiki]] and [[mw:|mediawiki.org]]. |

| about my work = |
|||
I started working for Wikimedia Foundation in 2011, as a member of the Localisation team. I continue doing what brought me to MediaWiki: making the translation process easy and fast. |
|||
This includes a lot of i18n (making the software translatable) and facilitating l10n (adapting and translating the software to particular language and culture). In particular, I helped to deploy [[mw:Extension:WebFonts|web fonts]] and [[mw:Extension:Narayam|JavaScript based input methods]] to overcome operating system limitations in language support. |
