Everyone,
I'm delighted to announce that Ed Sanders has joined the VisualEditor[0] team as a
software engineer from today. He will be focussed on the data structures and APIs inside
the VisualEditor, and in particular its "data model" component. Ed will be
working remotely from the UK.
Ed has worked as a Web front-end software engineer for several years, most recently
working for TripAdvisor. He received his MA in Computer Science from Clare College at the
University of Cambridge.
Ed is a long-term contributor to Commons and the English Wikipedia, where he has been a
sysop since 2004.[1] In his spare time, Ed enjoys photography, watching his local football
team (real football, not handegg), Arsenal,[2] and sometimes doing both at the same time.
He'll be in the SF office for the next few weeks so be sure to stop by and say hi!
Please join me in welcoming Ed!

Welcome, Ed! Wow, sysop for the past eleven years! You have a lot of
engineering expertise and community experience, and I am very grateful
that WMF is getting the benefit of that. Thanks for joining us.
