Biography


I started editing the English Wikipedia in June 2005. I became an administrator in 2006, and gained bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights in 2007. I served as a member of the Arbitration Committee in 2008. From February to September 2013, I served as a member of the Wikimedia Foundation's Ombudsman Commission.

My current activities on the English Wikipedia are primarily checkuser related. I am frequently found on the Sockpuppet Investigations pages there. However, I am also active in other areas, such as the Articles for creation and Requests for Adminship processes.

In my day job, I am the Associate Product Manager for Platform at the Wikimedia Foundation. My task is to help maintain and improve MediaWiki, the software that runs Wikipedia. As Wikimedia UK is a separate entity from the Wikimedia Foundation, my employment with the Wikimedia Foundation does not affect my status as a volunteer for Wikmedia UK.
