Arlo,
That is a very professional picture.
I see that you live in British Columbia. May I invite you to join the
illustrious ranks of the Cascadia Wikimedians group and sign up for our
email list? We are hoping for formal approval of our group from Affcom
shortly.

Hello everyone,
It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that Arlo Breault joined the
Wikimedia Foundation as a Features Engineer. Note the past tense. :-D
Before joining us, Arlo worked as an independent open-source software
developer. He’s held various contracts at the Tor Project[1],
DuckDuckGo[2], Storify[3], and Right & Democracy[4], amongst others,
where
he’s worked on everything from novel censorship
circumvention systems to
navigable visualizations of the web graph.
I first found out about him in April of 2012, but we only managed to find
a fit a year ago in July of 2013 as an international contractor. His
first
official day as a member of our staff was July 7,
2014. I tell myself
that
announcing Arlo and Marc together is the reason
I’ve been tardy on these
announcements. :-D Along with Marcoil (previous e-mail), the two of them
work with Subbu Sastry and C. Scott Ananian to form the Parsoid team,
which
provides the back-end voodoo that turns your
VisualEditing into wikitext
and back again.[5]
Arlo studied physics and mathematics at McGill in Montréal, and now lives
in Victoria, BC. He has been spending a lot of his free time lately
looking
at cryptographic protocols, contributing
OTR.js[6] to Cryptocat[7], a
privacy preserving chat application. He’s otherwise typically Canadian,
enjoying his maple syrup, hockey, and reading by the warm glow of a fire.
Please join me in a belated welcome of Arlo to the Wikimedia Foundation.
:-)
Take care,
Terry
P.S. In keeping with Jared’s demand of a picture to accompany every new
hire announcement, here is one:
