Hi All,

Please join me in welcoming Benny as a Software Developer in WMF’s Features Engineering team. Benny will be working on Editor Engagement features, a top priority area on Wikimedia Foundation’s engineering project list this year. He will be working closely with other team members - Ian Baker, Brandon Harris, Rob Moen and senior product manager Howie Fung on building impactful features that help change the curve to improve editor retention.

Benny Situ has been working with open source LAMP technologies since he obtained his bachelors degree in Computer Science in 2004. Most recently he helped build a large-scale automobile web application providing free services to car consumers. He enjoys solving complex problems for fun and has a strong passion to build applications that help people. Benny likes reading and playing basketball in his spare time as well as discovering good restaurants as a foodie.

Say hello to Benny in person in San Francisco or online. He can be found on #mediawiki as bsitu.

Welcome Benny!
