Welcome, Shahyar!!! It's really fun that recent arrivals include folks
from two places where I really feel I belong--Montreal and Mexico. Now,
if only they were a 30-minute subway ride away from each other... :)
P.S. Montreal is better than Toronto.
P.P.S. Carnitas are better than poutine.

Welcome, Shahyar.
I hope you'll forgive me for the state of the Flow JS, for
which I'm largely responsible ;-)
Looking forward to working with you, but I must side with
Rachel on the anti-poutine brigade.

Hello everyone,
It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that Shahyar
G(whatever)[1] has joined the Wikimedia Foundation as
Software Engineer in Features Engineering.
Before joining us, Shahyar worked as an engineer at
DeviantART[2] developing both front-end and back-end
software, with a focus on analytics. He was also the lead
API engineer at ViaFoura and web developer for a company
that works on what the Internet is really for[3]. He’s a
long-time Wikipedian (he collaborated on two Good
Articles[4]) and will be invaluable in his new role
working with the Core Features Team, ensuring that Flow is
full of parallax scrolling unicorns.
Shahyar lives in Montreal and claims to have come to
Canada for the poutine and never left, which pretty much
summarizes his life. He is trilingual in English, French,
and Persian. When he’s not writing JS, he’s drinking
whisky to cope with the fact that he’s not writing JS
(preferably Yamazaki 12 year), travelling, and practicing
his beatific expression for avatar photos.
His first day is today! [5] He’ll be working remotely but
will be visiting the office during the architecture
summit, so keep an eye on your fries!
Please join me in welcoming Shahyar to the Wikimedia
Foundation!

[5] I know what you're thinking, but the answer is most of
this got written by the Core Features team so my record of
tardy announcement e-mails remains unblemished.
And because Jared keeps demanding I include a photo of our
new hires:
(Trust me, this is reference photo.)
