I'm excited to announce that Frances Hocutt has been hired as a Software Engineer on the Community Tech team starting 2015-05-26.
She has gotten a good start on getting things done by writing a great introduction blurb for me to forward on:
Frances is looking forward to starting on a [new team doing cool but unspecified stuff]. Frances has been with the WMF for most of the last year, first as an OPW intern and then as a developer for Community Resources. Frances has primarily worked in the MediaWiki API ecosystem: she wrote the standard for API client libraries, evaluated a number of them, and developed wiki bots to support this Inspire campaign and the Co-op mentorship project on English Wikipedia. She also has contributed patches and product management to Wikimetrics. Before starting work in F/OSS, Frances worked as a medicinal chemist, studied organic chemistry and materials science, and founded a hackerspace. She moved to the Bay Area in January. She enjoys giving talks, mentoring new programmers, and practicing various fiber arts.
Frances can be found as fhocutt on IRC, Fhocutt as a volunteer, and Fhocutt (WMF) officially.

Welcome, Frances!
It was a pleasure working with (and learning from) you during our work on the Inspire campaign and the Co-op. I look forward to the opportunity to work together again soon!
