My story as a Wikimedian is a long one, but after a few years cheering WLM on from the sidelines, I finally stepped up and helped organize WLM Iran 2016. This quickly escalated to working with the international team to advance the state of the voting process, through development of an open-source voting web application called Montage (GitHub, Announcement). I'm excited about continuing development on the Montage backend, evangelizing WLM, and helping in any way I can!
