About me

I've been active in the technical spaces for a couple of years now as User:Taavi, and I was awarded the Wikimedia Tech Contributor of the Year award in 2022. In other free software/community circles I am also a Debian Maintainer.

I live in Helsinki, Finland.

My work

I am an SRE in the Wikimedia Cloud Services team. I build, maintain, and improve Toolforge, Cloud VPS and other WMCS projects.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
