Greetings All,
I'm very happy to welcome Jeff Hobson to the Wikimedia Foundation and the Wikipedia Zero Engineering team. He'll be joining Yuri, Adam, and Dan Foy to continue the great work that the Zero team has been working on and focusing on building our carrier portal first. Today will be his first day.
Jeff will be working remotely from Blacksburg, VA, but hopes to eventually venture out to the west coast to join us locally. Jeff has been building websites for over 12 of his 22 years and practically weeped tears of joy when HTML5 was first released. Aside from web development, he's dabbled in Parallel Computing, AI, and even some robotics. But the ever-changing nature of web development has kept him coming back and he's excited to join WMF to work with all the challenges mobile brings. In his free time Jeff enjoys skiing, riding roller coasters, speed running, and playing the drums.
Please join me in welcoming Jeff
