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.
