User:Samwilson

I'm mostly active on English Wikisource; I keep that user page more up to date than any other.

I'm a Software Engineer on the Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation. (Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, but this is my personal account. Edits, statements, or other contributions made from this account are my own, and may not reflect the views of the Foundation.) My WMF user account is User:SWilson (WMF). My IRC username is 'samwilson' on Freenode and Libera.

I'm currently working on these things on Phabricator (recently finished) and these things on Github.
