[Wikitech-l] Welcoming Jeremy Postlethwaite
Hi All, Please join me in welcoming Jeremy Postlethwaite as a Software Engineer in WMF’s Features Engineering team. Jeremy’s focus area will be Fundraising. He will be joining Arthur Richards, Ryan Kaldari and Katie Horn on the Fundraising engineering team to help make this year’s fundraising drive successful. Jeremy Postlethwaite has been a developer since 1996. He has been a baker, a candy maker, a chef and a zymurgist. Fascinated with technology, Jeremy has developed robotics, worked on nuclear energy devices, such as the Z-machine, in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory. While working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), he developed code to model plasmas in atomic physics. Jeremy is also interested in artificial intelligence and is developing code in this area. Jeremy tries to be an environmentalist and a humanitarian. And in doing so, he tries to live by the words of the late and great sophist, George Carlin, “If you think there is a solution, you are part of the problem.” This helps to keep him on level ground! In times of frustration, he tries to remember what Socrates said, “knowledge is recollection,” meaning all the answers already exist, but it is our duty to find them. Jeremy also tries to remember that not all problems in the world can be solved with a computer program. He is happiest when developing applications on his computer, researching quantum mechanics and fusion technology or best of all, camping in the redwoods with his wife, of almost nine years, Christi and his three children: Marissa, Jeremiah and Isaac. He has contributed several thousand hours to Open Source projects, including personal endeavors, helping others to use technology and working on Zend Framework. Jeremy does not own a television, but has several computers. He wishes he had more time to read. Jeremy’s biggest problem with being human is that he has to sleep. Drop by and say hello to Jeremy online or in person at WMF in San Francisco.
