Greetings all!
I'm pleased to welcome Monte Hurd to the Wikimedia Foundation. He
starts on April Fools Day!
Arriving (most recently and quite gladly) from snowy Minnesota to join
WMF as a software engineer, he's been enthusiastically focused on
native mobile app development for the last few years since getting off
the startup roller coaster.
His native app projects have included image processing, drawing,
physics asset pipelines, video creation, background server sync and
experimental user interfaces.
He joins the community and mobile team efforts to develop native, user
friendly media management apps which co-evolve with the exploding
capabilities of modern mobile hardware, with the goal of expanding the
contribution possibilities of both users on-the-go and users whose
only computing device may be a mobile device. Monte joining will
complete the app team of Brion and Yuvi and will allow for them to
knowledge share effectively across both iOS and Android. His initial
task will be to support the store launch of the iOS Commons App to get
us closer to our monthly 1,000 unique uploaders goal annual goal.
Monte lives for solving programming and climbing challenges and spent
a good portion of last year near Yosemite to be close to some of the
best climbing on the planet. He's glad to be back in sunny CA!
