Brad Jorsch
Senior Software Engineer, Wikimedia Foundation
"Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge." I get to help make that happen.
About me
I've been involved in Wikipedia and MediaWiki since 2007 or 2008 as a community member, and as an admin on the English Wikipedia since 2011. I've mostly concentrated on the technical aspects of Wikipedia, including bots and templates.
To find out more, look at my personal user page. If you want to ping me in my work capacity to a discussion, you should ping my personal account too or I'm not likely to see it.
My work
I help write the code that makes Wikipedia work. My principle areas of focus include:
- MediaWiki API
- Extension:TemplateSandbox
- Extension:Scribunto
- Extension:TemplateStyles
- Various other projects and generally keeping stuff working
Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
