Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wmfall] Announcement: Erik Bernhardson joins Wikimedia as Features Engineer
Before joining us, Erik was a web developer and operational jack-of-all-trades at Cite Media/Maverick Media which is a custom Symfony2 CRM working on “what the internet is for”[1]. There he worked on MySQL, Redis, Graylog2, ElasticSearch, Nginx w/PHP-FPM integration, phpUnderControl and capifony. He integrated dozens of different payment processors (shh… don’t tell FR-tech) and automated micro-site rollout for the clients using PHP integration into Chef. Six years ago, he became a PHP developer when he found out, while hacking his DVR that it had a PHP-based webserver. He still likes to do a lot of open-source work[2], and we found him because he was patching HipHop to add namespace support. Welcome! I look forward to seeing Bernhardson's addition to whatever parts of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers he feels comfortable with. :-) Given that he is a HipHop contributor, maybe we could call him MC Erik? ;-) -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wmfall] Announcement: Erik Bernhardson joins Wikimedia as Features Engineer
Welcome, Erik - great to have you here! As a naming system that's helpful when people have common forenames beginning with a vowel, you can always use first initial of surnameforename as a name - there's Merik, Berik and Zerik. Worked at a previous workplace of mine. ;-) J. (Blessed with a name that doesn't start with a vowel, at least in English.)

He is going to work with the Editor Engagement team on Messaging, and any other stuff we can throw at him until he feels sufficiently overwhelmed. I’m still trying to figure out how to verbally distinguish between my boss and him (suggestions welcome!). Erik lives in Campbell, CA, but is strangely okay with commuting to San Francisco all the time. He likes to drive his motorcycle down to Monterrey on weekends.
