Sammy
A 30-something, quintessentially queer software engineer™ at the Wikimedia Foundation.
And yes, I am somewhat obsessed with foxes!
Me, professionally
Some neat stuff I've done
- I sometimes write things on my blog...
- ... and I keep a list of cool things I've found
- (Unofficial) monitoring for the Wikimedia beta cluster
- Some mostly serious advice about the bare minimum marketing
- Barely concealed contempt for people who whine about Wikipedia being "unreliable"
- Another minisite on using the gender-neutral singular they
- Helped run an authoritative nameserver network named SERVFAIL
Some code & libraries I've written
- Python script to poll the Jenkins API & alert for overdue jobs
- Bash script to bootstrap a new Python project/create venvs/populate tox configs
- Oddly popular fedi bot which posts {things} as a treat
- Node package for converting IPA to valid SSML elements
- Node package for validating and normalizing IPA
- Composer package for validating and normalizing IPA (now under Wikimedia)
