About me

"I'm just here for the free table."

My work

I'm a UX engineer and design researcher on the Reading team working with users, designers, and developers to make Wikipedia a more engaging place to learn. I build interactive prototypes, and love to talk to users about their experiences with upcoming features and Wikipedia in general. In my time at the foundation (I started late 2013) I've built prototypes for iOS, WikiGrok, fundraising, and dashboarding tools. I also built an internal Node app for Fundraising that helps them monitor donations, fraud, and other info coming from campaigns. I'm most excited by working with users and prototyping beautiful experiences.
