Subject: Announcing Patrick Reilly as Site Performance Engineer and
Senior Technical Advisor
To: Staff All <wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi folks,
it's my pleasure to announce the promotion of Patrick Reilly to the
role of Site Performance Engineer and Senior Technical Advisor.
It's been planned for a long time for Patrick to focus on site
performance as his next step after his role on the mobile team. On the
mobile team, he was responsible for building out the initial
MobileFrontend extension, and has been the team's tech lead
since then, succeeded in this role by Brion Vibber.
I've decided to also designate Patrick as Senior Technical Advisor.
Patrick has been invaluable in the last few weeks in supporting hiring
processes, cross-team coordination, and technical evaluations. I
will continue to rely on Patrick's expertise and network to support
technical coordination across the department. This is one of the near
term improvements to increase my bandwidth and capacity as well.
Patrick will report to me. For performance and architecture projects,
he'll work directly with engineers working in those areas (Tim, Asher,
Aaron, Ori, etc.). I've posted the job description for this role here for
reference:

Please join me in congratulating Patrick.
All best,
Erik
