Message from Tomasz!:
Greetings all!
I'm pleased to welcome Monte Hurd to the Wikimedia Foundation. He starts on April Fools Day!
Arriving (most recently and quite gladly) from snowy Minnesota to join WMF as a software engineer, he's been enthusiastically focused on native mobile app development for the last few years since getting off the startup roller coaster.
His native app projects have included image processing, drawing, physics asset pipelines, video creation, background server sync and experimental user interfaces.
He joins the community and mobile team efforts to develop native, user friendly media management apps which co-evolve with the exploding capabilities of modern mobile hardware, with the goal of expanding the contribution possibilities of both users on-the-go and users whose only computing device may be a mobile device. Monte joining will complete the app team of Brion and Yuvi and will allow for them to knowledge share effectively across both iOS and Android. His initial task will be to support the store launch of the iOS Commons App to get us closer to our monthly 1,000 unique uploaders goal annual goal.
Monte lives for solving programming and climbing challenges and spent a good portion of last year near Yosemite to be close to some of the best climbing on the planet. He's glad to be back in sunny CA!
